The PCM will not shut off the motor! It will only throw a warning light....... Ask me how I know......$$$$$$$$$$$

The shop manual states the oil pressure at 2000 RPM with the oil at normal operating temperature is 40 to 60 psi. I could not find the spec oil bypass relief pressure.
I used a little bit of Teflon tape. Held it on the bottom of the threads so nothing would be exposed
Perhaps the oil pressure with 5W50 will be similar with the OEM thermostat (203 degrees F) rather than the 170 degree thermostat.Amsoil 10W-40 is at ~65-70 PSI at 2,000 rpm (hot). MC 5W-50 (fresh) would be even higher, but slightly lower after shearing for 2,000 miles.
Since pressure never exceeds ~85 PSI, it's safe to assume that's the pressure threshold of the bypass spring.

They have a website
Thanks again for the advice Zak, it worked perfectly.
You can see the completed project just above the oil filter.
Troy - the pressure sensor just screws in and out of the fitting correct?
The wires are also just plug and play?
In case Troy's not lurking, and since we both have AeroForce units, I'll chime in. You are correct on both counts. I recall that yours is an Autometer, but I can't see that would be any different.
