I thought the sender was the oil pressure sensor and was corrected by my local parts guy.


The sensor for the idiot light is not the OP sending unit for the gauge so parts guy is correct in that statement. But the sending unit installs in the same location as the sensor. That is, it replaces the sensor. Anything under the car or more specifically under the engine (a wire connected to the oil pan drain plug) would be for oil temperature.

I wonder if a previous owner installed the gauge and hooked it up to the idiot light sensor thinking that was all there was to it.
