You will need to remove your oil pressure sending unit and install a mechanical gauge to get a true reading.

If the pressure gauge is not the same as the mechanical one you have a bad pressure switch.

What is gauge pressure?

From a nursing perspective... The gauge of the needle tells us the size of the lumen (inside) of the tube. Size 18 is big whilst size 30 is small. If we want a substance that we're injecting to have low pressure (ie if cleaning a wound with saline and not wanting it to hurt or disturb the healing and using a syringe to apply it) then we use a large size (ie 16). Hope this helps Gauge pressure is the pressure recorded on the gage that records above the atmospheric pressure. Normal atomospheric pressure is 14.7psi. So if a gage read 10 psi of gage pressure, then the true pressure would be 24.7 psi. Hope this is right.
