depends how much you want to spend.

mid range tho autometer get most votes id imagine. loads of styles to choose from and just under £50 for oil pressure.
thats what ive got and love the look of them, accurate too.

do you actually care that the exact oil pressure of your car is? lol

all you gotta worry about is when it shows less than it normally does

so why bother getting an accurate gauge?
