Can oil pressure be logged thru EVOSCAN
Since we are logging thru the obd2 port should we be able to log the oil pressure if the address is found since the sensor is designed to throw a check engine light if the oil gets low enough to trigger the sensor? I would definetly find this benificial because I really dont like the idea of having an oil pressure gauge in my cockpit.

You do know that most electronic gauges use a control box that the pressure signal is fed to right? Meaning no lines full of oil in the cabin.

therefore tapping into this signal wire will not give you any pressure, it will most likely be 5V or 0V. one or the other depending on if you have oil pressure or not.
if you want to log pressure buy a zeitronix WBo2 and a 3 wire oil pressure sensor (prefferably one that will thread into the stock oil filter housing ports. hook up the +5V map sensor wire to the first wire of the OP sensor. hook the second wire up to the Aux in, and the last wire to the sensor ground from the zeitronix. now when you run the zeitronix system you will get a pressure signal in the aux in. it will read 0-5V but you can convert that to pressure quite easily.
