Howdy,

Interested in hooking up an oil pressure gauge to my engine to check the oil pressure. Anyone know where to hook one up on the 3 liter? Thx

 

Not sure where it is but remove the sending unit and install the gauge there.

 

Thx cougar I'll take a look and see what I can find. I found a manual for the 3.0L motor that points out an area of where the sender would be. I'm not sure if I'll have one though since I don't have a pressure gauge. I should still have a port to tap into I'd think.

Is attaching the pressure gauge to the sending unit port pretty much standard procedure for testing?

 

Also, would I be able to do it at the pressure sensor/switch instead?

 

It's by the oil filter. You have one. Idiot light or gauge it doesn't matter. Tap in there.


Why are you checking oil pressure?

 

Thx.

No particular reason, I just wanted to check the pressure to see what it looks like and go through the process. I do have some noisy valve train but it's been that way for like 8 years or something.

 

Yeah, I know that engine like one of my random body parts. The lifters are easy to replace if you ever need to. Good luck sir.
