How to check oil pressure without gauges? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Curious to see if there is a way to check the oil pressure without the gauge pack? (Talking about the optional gauges in the center console area)

Thanks

Mechanical gauge

It is displayed on the DIC page. And as mentioned you can use a mechanical gauge. I'm currently learning my recently purchased C5 Vette with an LS3 transplant and the OP sending unit is on the AFT side of the intake manifold, drivers side. You could connect a manual gauge in that location for trouble shooting purposes.

I believe that's the new gauge cluster and new menu. With 2010-2013 models it seems like you're stuck to either putting the 2SS gauges for the middle console or buying an aftermarket gauge and hooking that up.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong though.

I have a 2012 SS and don't have that menu button but have the console gauges.

Nah you're right. The 2010-2013's we don't have that option in our DIC, that's why I have the Aeroforce gauges, and watch my console gauges. At least not to my knowledge.

I figured it out! I have a bluetooth OBD2 Scanner with the Torque Pro app. I input these values into the app:

You'll need to go to: Settings-Manage extra PIDs/Sensors-...-Add custom PID and enter the following values:

PID: 22115c
Long Name: Oil Pressure PID
Short Name: Oil Pressure
Minimum Value: 0
Maximum Value: 100
Scale: x1
Unit: psi
Equation: (A*0.65)-17.5
