    oil pressure switch

    I installed a oil cooler and the oil light doesn't go out until 3000rpm.
    I used the Napa oil pressure switch rec in the oil cooler how to i can't remember the part # right now.
    Is this having a negative effect on my engine?
    is the oil not flowing or just not flowing with enough pressure to put out the light?

    Thanks Chris

    What kind of adapter are you using Chris?

    In order to make the light go out you need to capture 100% of the oil flow out of the oil port in the floor of the oil distribution cavity, and expose that flow to the pressure sensor. If you have internal leakage the light won't go out, but there is no worry for the engine since any leakage will just go to feed the engine in a normal manner.

      Are you saying you used a NAPA oil pressure switch ... or reused the existing oil pressure switch ...?
