If you look closely at a regulator gauge you will see the instructions USE NO OIL. There is a reason for this. If pure oxygen or high pressure gas comes in contact with oil it can ignite and cause a fire.

Why do oxygen gauges read use no oil?

1994 Toyota 4 runner when the oil is cold it reads on the gauge but when it warms up you loose oil pressure what is wrong how do you fix this?

When oil warms up it flows easier and is less thick (has less viscosity). Change your oil and use a heavier weight oil like 10w30 or higher.


Can you use an oil pressure gauge in the place of air pressure gauge?

No.No.No.No.


How do you install a mechanical oil pressure gauge on a 90 Nissan d21 12 valve?

"T" into the existing oil pressure gauge with brass pipe fittings. This way you will have the original oil pressure gauge and the mechanical oil pressure gauge. Don't forget to use thread sealer.


What happens when oil is mixed with oxygen?

oil residue in an oxygen regulator connection may cause an explosion. Also when oxygen is mixed in a refrigeration system with a refrigerant like R410A which has oil in it, it can cause an explosion.


How do you calibrate an oil pressure gauge?

you need to check it against another gauge that is accurate which should be calibrated by a pressure calibration lab. So at least you know that the gauge you use to test your oil gauge is right. Then just "tee" in the "master" gauge into your oil line and check the two gauges against each other when the engine is running.


Use an oil pressure gauge for fuel pressure?

yup! One that is electronic.


What kind of oil does your 97 Mazda Protege take?

Use SAE 10w30 conventional or synthetic. Use a High Mileage oil if the odometer reads over 100,000 miles.


What's wrong with 1997 C1500 - oil pressure gauge reads max and doesn't move what's the problem sender or pump?

its the sender or wiring not the pump if it was the pump you would know BELIEVE ME YOU WOULD KNOW The most likely answer is niether. You can remove the tube from the oil sending unit and the gauge. Blow through it and see if it is clogged. If it is, use compressed air and clean out whatever trash is in there. Also, check the gauge. If it has returned to zero, you've found the problem. If not, you may have to remove the gauge and clean it out. If the gauge isn't the problem, check the oil sending unit. Use a flashlight, check into the hole and see if you can see any kind of blockage. If there is, remove the sending unit, clean it out using a can of carb cleaner, then replace. Re-connect the line between the sending unit and the gauge. Start your pickup and check for pressure and also oil leaks. If the problem was the pump, you probably would've trashed your bearings in your engine, causing it to sieze up.

How do you close ear piercings you no longer want?

Use oil and massage them. Vitamin E oil and Emu oil are pretty good. depending on how long you've had them and what gauge they are, they might not close completely.
