SO i just put in an aftermarket oil pressure gauge. works great but what can i do to get the check engine light an oil light to shut off.. i dont want to go thru the pain of trying to rig a "T" with the stock sendin unit and the aftermarket.. any ideas?

also what kind of tranny fluid does everyone use? just plain old atf or is there something special you all like?

thanks dj

 

get your instrument cluster out and just take off the little light bulb that is the only way,

If you dont mind me asking can you tell me what you did to wire up the oil pressure gauge and how much it cost you and where you bought it.

 

I'd only use ATF+4 if you have a stock transmission, they are very picky. Regular ATF is usually just for Ford and GMC transmissions, I believe (and it usually says so right on the bottle).

 

ATF +4 for chrysler, Dexron - GM, Mercron - Ford, Dexmerc - GM/Ford.

Wal Mart carries Mopar ATF +4 for about 4.50 a qt, but local auto stores sell generic and castrol atf +4. I have yet to see Valvoline ATF +4, but I would trust valvoline products.

 

i dont get it why are you talking about transmission fluid?

 

haha cuz i asked that in my first post

and i used an old gauge i had at my house and just baught the line kit from advanced auto. the sensore is to the right of the distributor on the block. its a pain to get to..i did mine with the intake off cuz i was replacing the plenum pan gasket and i figured id do it then.

to all other,
think it will be ok with just plain atf for a day or two?

 

the mopar ATF+4 at walmart is fully synthetic and seems like a good deal. Just bought 12 quarts yesterday for my trans at $4.92/quart.
