Which instrument is responsible for indicating the oil pressure within the engine's lubrication circuit?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The pressure gauge is the device or dashboard indicator that continuously measures the pressure at which the oil, driven by the lubrication pump, flows in the lubrication circuit. Maintaining adequate pressure is crucial to avoid excessive friction and seizing of the engine's internal components. By contrast, the thermometer measures temperature (usually of the coolant or of the lubricant itself) and the thermal switch acts as an electrical switch that activates on reaching a certain temperature, for example, to turn on the electric fan.
