Review on KUS NPT-1/8 Mechanical Oil Pressure Sensor With 0-5Bar Range For Improved Engine Performance by Paul Walters

Revainrating 5 out of 5

25 Nov 2021 My critique–––

KUS gauges critiqueWhen ordering the oil pressure sending unit, make sure that it matches your gauge i. e. 0 to 5 bar or 0 to10 bar. A bar is a unit of pressure equivalent to 100,000 newtons per square meter or approximately one atmosphere.Try to order the black-face (cara negro) models as they are much more legible during nighttime. In one of my vehicles, I have both white- and black-face units; although illuminated, the white is barely legible during night-use.Other than that matter, I find that all the KUS instruments that I have: ammeters, clock, aqua temperature, oil pressure gauges to be of excellent quality. KUS ammeters, like VDO ammeters, have a wide-range sweep. These electronic ammeters afford the wide sweep which provides a much more accurate reading display.When I first bought 3 KUS gauges 2 annums ago, I would have preferred to buy the European-made, VDO gauges, but none that I saw on the Internet were sold including the sending units and I didn't see any separately-sold available. Then I saw the KUS models complete with sending units, and for a lower price than the VDOs.

Pros
  • Boosts engine performance with increased accuracy and reliability of oil pressure readings, leading to better fuel economy, power, and durability
Cons
  • Limited Range
