Not a common instrument in modern cars, it's all some owners can do to check and put oil in their cars never mind monitor the stuff that's in there!

Too true Bob. Cant recall whether the mini's over here had the oil gauge in them or not.

Why not get an obd2 device then monitor oil pressure and much more through an app on your phone? |

I was under the impression there wasn't a oil pressure sensor... as per this discussion:

Basic Minis only had the central speedo / fuel guage, deluxe models and all Coopers/S's had the oval binnacle with the 3 gauges as above. 👍 Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948 2014 Orkney grey Freelander SD4 GS. 2004 Zambezi silver Discovery 2 Td5 (Gone) 1963 Surf blue Morris Mini Minor Super de Luxe (my little toy) |

And judging by the "Just rolled in" episodes on youtube many Americans can't even do that right and drive around in death traps. Thank god for our annual MOT inspections. Jules |

According to the JLR manual: Oil pressure should be 1.6bar at 1750 rpm rising to 3.1bar at 4000rpm (p752) There is a oil level/temperature sensor (p775) for vehicles with DPF There is a engine oil pressure sensor (p1238) but I dont know if its for measuring continuous oil pressure or just for a low pressure warning..
