If I use this, do I get any realistic reading of the engine pressure or is it meaningless because it's all pre-oil cooler?

Thanks for the info.

Meaningless? No not at all. Just be aware that your pressure going back into the engine will be some amount lower than what you’re reading. The pressure drop really isn’t THAT large through the cooler and filter (at least from what I’ve researched), but just be aware of it.
