I think you misread.

You are correct, the 2010 370z does NOT have an oil pressure gauge. But it does have an oil temperature gauge and an oil pressure fault sensor.

I installed an aftermarket oil pressure gauge/sensor, and left the stock oil temperature gauge as is.

I unthreaded the stock oil pressure fault sensor, and used an adaptor like below to fit the stock oil pressure fault sensor and aftermarket oil pressure gauge sensor together.

Missed part of that. Sorry.

I have my sensor in the same location. You're low on oil pressure. You might have a oil galley failure. The only sign that it failed is low oil pressure. or when the engine starts to eat it's self. The warning light doesn't come until 5 to 10 psi. After it's too later.

Here's a thread I started about oil pressure.

JARblue and Hotrodz like this.
