It is not really an issue because you have a gauge to monitor. You just set baseline pressures for idle and rpm points under load. The points may be a bit falsely inflated since it is taking the reading before the filter but as long as you use your baselines for comparison then the gauge will do it's job just fine. The stock sender sends a signal to the PCM. The PCM does not track the actual "oil pressure" but it does have preset code that can distinguish "too high" or "too low" oil pressure based on the voltage signal. 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor!

So if you happened to throw the stock sender and the gauge cluster bulb out the window, it wouldn't make any difference? 87 Mustang GT 5.0L TURBO
