This kit from RHD Auto Design addresses some of the issues with the OEM oil pressure sensor. Since the OEM sensor is hard mounted to the engine block, it gets a lot of heat, and a lot of vibration. Something that sensors do not like. By remote mounting the sending unit, it should last a lot longer, and give you more accurate oil pressure readings. Plus once you have the kit in, hooking up a mechanical gauge is pretty easy.
