What is the purpose of the 90° coupling adaptor?
The 90° coupling adaptor is designed for use in tight or restricted spaces where straight access to the oil pressure sensor port is not possible.
How do I ensure an accurate reading?
Make sure you use the correct adaptor, connections are tight and free of leaks, and the oil is at operating temperature.
How do I clean the kit?
Wipe down the gauge and adaptors with a clean cloth after use. Store in a clean and dry place.
Can I use this kit on all types of engines?
The kit is designed for a wide range of engines. However, always verify that the included adaptors are compatible with your engine's oil pressure sensor port.
What should I do if the gauge reading is low?
Low readings indicate a potential problem with the oil pump or other parts of the oil system. Consult a professional mechanic for further diagnosis.
What is the weight of the kit?
The total weight of the kit is 1.62kg, with a net weight of 2.20kg.
Troubleshooting
Incorrect pressure readings.
Ensure the correct adaptor is used. Check for leaks in the connections. Verify the gauge is properly calibrated.
Adaptor won't fit.
Double-check the thread size and type. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for the correct adaptor size.
Gauge needle fluctuates wildly.
Check for air in the system or a faulty oil pressure sensor. Ensure the oil is at operating temperature.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Select the appropriate adaptor from the kit based on the thread size of the oil pressure sensor port on the engine. Ensure the threads are clean before attaching the adaptor. Connect the hose to the adaptor and the gauge.
Compatibility: The kit is compatible with a wide range of vehicles due to the variety of adaptors included. Verify the correct thread size for your vehicle's oil pressure sensor port before use. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific pressure specifications.
Care: After each use, clean the adaptors and the gauge with a clean cloth. Store the kit in a clean, dry environment. Regularly inspect the hose for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the gauge is calibrated periodically to maintain accuracy. Avoid over-tightening the adaptors, as this could damage the threads.
