Maybe I don’t have a strong enough understanding of the oiling system but why would a drop in pressure show up on a gauge but not a warning light. That’s a bit of a rhetorical question as I understand the principal difference between a light and a gauge. I’m just not convinced that a gauge is going to alert me any faster. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong…..
For example; if an oil cooler line ruptured, would the system sustain enough pressure to not trip the light? How much (if any) is dependent on where the sensor is located, such as the oil cooler return line vs oil galley. Hence my original question.
