2-1/16in C2/S Oil Press. Gauge 0-100psi

The 2-1/16in C2/S Oil Pressure Gauge with a 0-100 PSI range is a professional-grade mechanical instrument designed for serious automotive enthusiasts and shop technicians who demand accurate, real-time oil pressure monitoring. This AutoMeter gauge addresses a critical need in engine diagnostics and performance tuning: reliable pressure data that informs maintenance decisions and helps detect developing engine issues before catastrophic failure occurs. Whether you're building a modified street engine, debugging a chronic idle problem, or validating fresh machine work, this gauge delivers the direct feedback required to keep your powerplant healthy.

AutoMeter's C2/S (Carbon Fiber) gauge features a precision mechanical movement with a 0–100 PSI scale calibrated for direct oil line installation, offering superior accuracy compared to electronic variants in harsh underhood environments. The 2-1/16 inch diameter fits seamlessly into factory or custom dash pods, pillar mounts, or inline tee fittings on the block or pan. Constructed with durable gauge body and stainless steel fittings, this instrument resists vibration-induced drift and thermal stress typical of high-output engines, diesel platforms, and extended track sessions. The analog needle display requires no electrical power, eliminating potential sensor failures and making it the preferred choice for vintage restorations, competition builds, and vehicles with marginal electrical systems.

Mechanics and tuners benefit most from this gauge when troubleshooting low-pressure complaints, validating oil pump upgrades, or confirming proper ring seating during break-in periods. A 0–100 PSI range suits naturally aspirated and mildly boosted four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines; forced-induction or LS-platform builds may require the higher-pressure variant. Installation involves a simple 1/8 NPT port connection to the engine block or remote oil filter housing; isolate the gauge from direct fuel spray and exhaust heat using appropriate hose routing and braided steel line. This AutoMeter gauge pairs seamlessly with oil cooler kits, turbo platforms, and performance monitoring setups where redundant pressure feedback provides confidence during dyno pulls and street validation.
