Okay so I’m installing an aftermarket oil pressure sensor/gauge. The pressure sensor reads absolute pressure, from 0 psi to 145 psi. With the gauge it’s possible to calibrate it so it reads 0 psi at sea level, as opposed to 14.7 psi.
My question is when I’m at altitude say 7000 feet, will the oil pressure read a little less? At sea level my pressure at idle is 23 psi In other words does atmospheric pressure affect the pressure created by the oil pump inside the oiling channels?
This is the gauge I’m installing btw. Both pressure and temperature.
