Oil Pressure Gauge Question
 
Hey everyone, I'm installing an oil pressure gauge. Going to T-off stock sensor location with an adapter. Question is, if the car has been sitting for months do I need to drain all of the engine oil or has it settled down to the oil pan where I don't have to drain it? I assume I need to drain it but figured I would reach out.

Thanks!

Most of the oil should be in the pan, but to be sure there will be some cleanup in that location. You might only need to top off the oil after the completion of the install. If you are due for an oil change, even better, two birds... Best of luck.

Yeah I don't need an oil change, just did mine a few hundred miles before winter hit. Should be pretty straight forward :icon17:

No need to drain anything, clean up whatever spills and you'll be good to go.
