What is the length of the hose?
The hose is 1.2 meters long.
What is the purpose of the 90° coupling?
The 90° coupling allows for easier connections in tight spaces where access is limited.
Where can I find the correct pressure specifications for my vehicle?
Refer to your vehicle's service manual for the oil pressure specifications.
Troubleshooting
Gauge reads zero or very low pressure.
Check all connections for leaks. Ensure the correct adapter is used. Check the oil level and pump's condition.
Inaccurate pressure readings.
