The original NA miatas had real oil pressure gauge and dealers were flooded with cars getting checked for oil press problems. For that matter most temp gaugges are same way. Just glorified idiot lights. I'm sure someone will chime in Miata girl car or whatever etc . There are plenty of non gear head types driving 370z who would complain as well, and plenty of people racing miatas who understand oil pressure. Bottom line manufactures/dealers don't like 5000 non paid visits to diagnose phantom issues due to lack of understanding how things work.
