Oil Press.Sender 0-150ps

The VDO Oil Press Sender 0-150psi is a precision pressure sending unit engineered for accurate engine oil pressure monitoring in automotive and equipment applications. This compact sensor reads oil pressure in real time, allowing drivers and operators to detect bearing wear, oil circulation failures, or lubrication system malfunctions before they cause catastrophic engine damage. The 1/8 inch NPT male thread connection fits standard engine block oil galleries, making it ideal for restoration projects, performance builds, custom instrumentation, and OEM replacement scenarios where reliable pressure feedback is critical.

VDO's pressure sending unit converts mechanical oil pressure into an electrical signal that drives analog gauges and modern electronic dash displays across the 0–150 psi range. The sensor's internal diaphragm and variable resistor respond instantaneously to pressure fluctuations, delivering stable readings without lag or drift during acceleration, idle, or sustained load conditions. Constructed with corrosion-resistant materials rated for engine bay temperatures and oil exposure, this unit maintains accuracy and longevity even in high-mileage or demanding service environments where standard senders fail prematurely.

Technicians and enthusiasts rely on this oil pressure sender for engine diagnostics, carburetor-to-fuel-injection conversions, and vintage vehicle restorations where original gauges require OEM-spec senders. It threads directly into most American V8 and small-block engines, LS platforms, and marine blocks with standard NPT ports. Installation requires only basic mechanical skill—disconnect the battery, drain or plug the oil gallery if needed, thread the sender hand-tight plus one-quarter turn, reconnect the sender wire to your gauge, and verify readings at idle and under load. For maximum accuracy, pair this unit with a matching VDO analog gauge or compatible electronic cluster programmed for 150 psi full-scale output.
