Description
An oil pressure gauge is a device that indicates the pressure of the oil flowing through an engine’s lubrication system. It is typically mounted on the vehicle’s dashboard and consists of a dial with a needle that points to the current oil pressure.
Oil pressure is important because it ensures that engine parts are properly lubricated. If the oil pressure is too low, it means that the engine is not getting enough oil, which can lead to serious damage. Conversely, if the oil pressure is too high, it can damage the engine’s seals and gaskets.
