$30 OBD dongle, free phone app. No mess, no muss, and you can watch WAY more than just oil pressure. Your car is just a computer. Start treating it like one.
Ok, fill me in. I'm not tech savoy and just did a quick Google search. A plethora of "dongles" came up. Is there one you suggest? Ones to stay clear of, or do they all do the same thing?

Technically happened yesterday, but #1 Son took an hour drive with me for some experience in a non-SUV with normal controls before his first official driving lesson. He did great, and my car stayed intact and unscratched. The actual driving lesson with the pros was tonight, and he did great with them, too. Whew!!

teflon tape. always.
Yeah, had some on there. The first time around I only had a 6" extension and could only get about 2 clicks of a turn on my ratchet. Second time around I bought a 16" extension to give me enough room to actually turn the wrench. Having the right tools always helps...lol.

Would like to know this, too, I don’t come close to getting the full potential out of my car…

Missing the days when friends and I hosted and administrated our own car forums. WTF

Emcel is selective about whom she allows likes to be issued her way. (all those Internet creeps out there). @TicTocTach is a 'Like-whore' so he has no standards and will accept 'Likes' from anybody.

PS. you do know there's a section just for reporting Forum (software) behavioral issues?

Pretty much any of them work well enough.

Can the oil pressure actually be monitored with an OBDII dongle and phone App on a non-PP Coyote?
