Works well. at tools and equipment

I had to refill the adapter. Be sure to remove the schrader valve in the filter adapter to get an accurate reading. Otherwise a great device, especially for the price.

Pros
  • motor tools
Cons
  • expensive

Best engine oil pressure gauge I have ever used

Works very well and is very easy to read. Common sense is required during installation. It's easy to tighten everything but fail to install the cup on the filter housing, causing massive leaks.

Pros
  • Tools and Equipment
Cons
  • So far so good

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good module for testing most systems.

If it has a spin-on filter, it works fine. Sometimes I feel like I have to add too many adapters to make it look like Mickey Mouse, but it works. I wish the hose was longer or maybe it could be easier to adapt to a longer hose.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • Some problems

Remove the check valve in the adapter fitting. Type Tire valve core

Works well. However, there is a learning curve, so to speak. Found it out the hard way. There is a check valve in the fitting on the adapter that measures the oil pressure on the pressure gauge. This only resulted in peak pressure readings, which in turn resulted in a missed live pressure diagnosis. I removed the valve and everything is fine.

Pros
  • Oil pressure gauge tool
Cons
  • Defects present
