Was wonderung if anyone installed a oil guage in thier h3? If so, was it electric or mechanical? How did you run it? Would appreciate hearing about it...thanks dave

 

yrs ago i used a "t" so i had both on fords. on h3 i searched and found nothing that matched the sender threads. i think someone did, but dont know where?
i want a stewart warner if i can.

 

ebay has one that threads in to the oil sender hole and is threaded in the side and the top.I ordered one but have not used it yet. I will see if i can find what I ordered.

 

Here is what I ordered back in 2016
item sold by tsto1303

I have a couple oil gauges from my old suv i never actually got to install 1 be nice if i could use in H3

 

Maybe go with a Scangauge?

 

Good morning from germany.

I'm on my way to install an oil pressure gauge on my 2006 H3, because i had the idiot light on when the truck was in idle. It was only a plugged oil pickup screen, but you all know how bad it is, to get the oil pan dropped....
Now i want to see my oil pressure all time, to be able to react before the oil light comes on.

There is a good tutorial on "355nation" i used to find the location and the fittings to get the pressure pickup installed.

The thread above the oil filter, where the plug is removed, is metric M16 x 1,5.

As far as i know, does the pcm not provide data of the motor oil pressure...

Have a nice day...

i guess it would need a pressure sender?? none there huh..
let us know how you do it..

 

Hey,
i finished installing an oil pressure gauge on my H3.
I had to clean the oil pickup screen, because it was clogged with pieces of carbon and i had the oil pressure alarm.

I used the discription, i wrote of in my previous post...

Here is a picture of the oil pressure sensor in place...


I placed the gauge on the left corner of the dashboard...


I even checked and cleaned up my valvecover...
You can see the missing sealant on the baffles. The H3 smoked a little bit blue, 20 seconds after startup


i removed the baffles and cleaned everything up?..


... and sealed everything with new rtv...


Tomorrow i have to reassamble the whole thing and check everything up...
