Oil Press.Sender 0-80psi

The VDO Oil Press Sender 0-80psi is a precision pressure sending unit engineered for vehicle engine monitoring systems. This compact 1/8 inch NPT male-threaded unit integrates seamlessly into oil galleries and manifolds, converting mechanical oil pressure into an electrical signal that drives dashboard gauges and warning systems. Technicians and engine builders rely on this sender to provide real-time feedback on engine lubrication health—critical data for both street vehicles and high-performance applications.

This VDO sender operates across a 0–80 psi range, making it ideal for most gasoline and light-duty diesel engines where standard oil pressures fluctuate between idle and full throttle. The unit's design translates mechanical pressure directly into proportional electrical output, allowing factory and aftermarket gauges to display accurate readings without calibration drift. The 1/8 inch NPT connection ensures compatibility with standard engine block ports and aftermarket oil filter adapters, while the compact 2 x 2 x 2.5 inch form factor fits tight engine compartments.

This sender suits engine rebuilds, gauge cluster retrofits, and performance builds where OEM or custom oil pressure monitoring is essential. Installers appreciate the standard NPT threading, which accommodates tee fittings for dual gauges or warning switches without adapter chains. Whether replacing a failed sender in a classic restoration or upgrading a modified engine with precise pressure instrumentation, the VDO Oil Press Sender delivers reliable signal conversion at a weight of just 0.27 lbs, minimizing parasitic load on auxiliary systems.
