Default Oil Pressure Sender recomendations

Any recommendations on oil pressure senders and sources? I've seen them any ware from $30-$120. Thanks.

egauges.com has a nice selection. I have purchased in the past with no issues.

Are you talking factory replacement or a separate gauge?

Just looking for some recommendations. The aftermarket ones are considerably cheaper than the factory unit.

You get what you pay for. That's pretty much the bottom line.

Give the cheap URO one a try. It's 1/4 the price of the VDO. Mine's going strong for about a year now, and it's a fairly easy job to replace it so you don't have that much to lose.

Lol you still didn't answer my question!!!

Are you looking for a SENDING UNIT that sends to the factory cluster, or a STAND ALONE SENDER AND GAUGE (or gauge that uses the factory sender)??

Lol. Uro is cheap and works. Easy to swap.

I've got a new one that works for Autometer and Sunpro gauges, comes with fittings, don't have the box though. $20 shipped to your door.

I kept my stock pressure sensor by using the Lindsey Racing oil pressure adapter.

I installed a SPA dual oil pressure oil temperature gauge.

Uro will last 1-3 years...

Factory will last 10-15 years...

I found it wasn't that super easy to replace because it is a tight fit and the wrench only turns like 2 degrees. It's simple for sure but it takes enough time that I decided to spend the 80$ vs 20$ and be done with it for a decade...

That is my 2¢.
