[DML] oil pressure [was: Speaking of Oil..]

[Farrar <fhudkins@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry to veer off track here, but how should I read the oil pressure gauge?

According to the repair receipts, my car's oil pressure sender was 
replaced, but it's difficult to know what I should glean from it.

My oil pressure gauge seems linked to the RPMs. (e.g. it reads almost 
zero at a stoplight, and jumps up when I hit the gas) Is that correct?

(BTW, the Yahoo Groups search function is currently not functioning.)

Cheers,
