If you have an oil pressure warning light on, or your oil pressure gauge reads low, it may be time to check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge. You need to determine if it's a problem with the sending unit or if you really do have low oil pressure. This video will walk you through the steps of how to check oil pressure on your engine. It may not be as easy to do for you as it was for me, but once you do the test you'll know for sure if it's time for engine work, or if it's time for a new sending unit.The best place for answers to your automotive questions: http://www.ericthecarguy.comRelated videos.How Oil Pressure Works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8f2fcbTh5ywThe Basic Parts of an Engine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saPGX-1qC4MSynthetic Oil vs Regular Oil: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lshd7WR-a6IRe: Synthetic Oil vs Regular Oil: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zEBI1QndPoTools.Oil Pressure gauge: http://www.jbtoolsales.com/gearwrench-3343d-engine-oil-pressure-check-kit/#oid=1002_1Discussion about this video: http://www.ericthecarguy.com/kunena/18-The-EricTheCarGuy-Video-Forum/50703-how-to-check-oil-pressure#94813EricTheCarGuy code lookup: http://www.ericthecarguy.com/obd-code-lookupFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/EricTheCarGuy?fref=tsTwitter: https://twitter.com/EricTheCarGuyGoogle+: https://plus.google.com/100195180196698058780/postsInformation on Premium Membership: https://www.ericthecarguy.com/premium-content-streaming-etcg-contentStay DirtyETCGDue to factors beyond the control of EricTheCarGuy, it cannot guarantee against unauthorized modifications of this information, or improper use of this information.  EricTheCarGuy assumes no liability for property damage or injury incurred as a result of any of the information contained in this video. EricTheCarGuy recommends safe practices when working with power tools, automotive lifts, lifting tools, jack stands, electrical equipment, blunt instruments, chemicals, lubricants, or any other tools or equipment seen or implied in this video.  Due to factors beyond the control of EricTheCarGuy, no information contained in this video shall create any express or implied warranty or guarantee of any particular result.  Any injury, damage or loss that may result from improper use of these tools, equipment, or the information contained in this video is the sole responsibility of the user and not EricTheCarGuy.
