Has anyone added an Oil Pressure Gauge?
Wish I could get a Ford Calibration kit that included the oil pressure to show up into one of the gauge menus or even better that it is in the display all the time when the engine is running. Seems like a good aftermarket avenue for the right business. They would probably a thousand the first week it was available.
Obviously some hardware may need to be added with the idiot light hardware to make it work.
When/if the no oil pressure idiot light comes on, it is 99% too late! Hopefully it never happens.
A gauge showing lower & lower pressure may save the engine if shut down right away.
Hate to be Paranoid about this so I will get a gauge installed ASAP.

I've been wondering if Ford is going to offer something like that eventually, it seems like a lot of the cluster screen is unused and could be made to display a lot more info. Its all in the CAN, somewhere...

Bump!
I'm surprised it's not included, it's one of the most important engine functions to monitor!

Anyone know where the oil pressure sending unit is located on the engine? It 'should' be a simple jog to add a tee and a gauge.

My Bronco has an oil pressure gauge, in the "gauges" setting.

I see an oil temperature gauge but not oil pressure.
The only pressure gauge is for boost.

It would be nice that a lot of the stuff on your display over your steering column couldn't be shown instead on you 8"/12" entertainment system display next to it.

Has anyone figured this out yet?
Raptor has it so it might be possible using Forscan.
I'd be happy with the current cluster if the option was available to show what gear you are in without having to hit the shift selector to show it. And the addition of the oil pressure gauge.

What would be nice is if Android Auto would work with a company to us a wireless OBDII adapter and just use the cars PID's and choose which PID's to look at on the SYNC screen. I'm surprised this hasn't happened yet. If we had the tech we have now in the 90's, we would have all kinds of cool stuff. We have awesome tech now but it's not used in creative ways.

Edit to add: I use my Android phone to open my garage but Android Auto won't let it be part of it so I can't just tap an Icon on my SYNC screen. I have to grab my phone, open the phone, swipe to page that the app is on , open app, then tap an icon. Lame...

This is one of the few things that I miss from my Wrangler. Jeep does a MUCH better job with the gauges (off-road pages). Having the altitude and GPS coordinates was nice too. Even the Braptor gauges are cheesy, e.g. Low to High on the oil pressure versus actual numbers.
