Oil pressure gauges

[UKGTC]

I am trying to do a check on my oil pressure for a 178 V8 engine and wanted to know if there is anything that could be used on a temporary basis?
I did look to see if P3 did a nice vent gauge for the AMG GT platform but they only do them for A and B series models which is probably due to economy of scale.
Does anyone know of a solution that could be plugged into the OBD port?

Any compatible code reader with live data?

I have a fault reader which I will have a go to see what happens. Worth a try.

You can get a dongle to go in the obd discretely and view data on a phone app while driving, cant remember the name but its blue.

That would be great if it does actual oil pressure and not just the alert side.

Does anyone know what the app is called?

Maybe Torque App ?

I have a Foxwell NT710 scanner that I will try out tomorrow to see if it shows oil pressure. I guess it will only work if there is an electronic sensor collecting that data and if so why didn't AMG have this as a read out in the first place?

Can you see oil pressure on yours as a figure and not just a scale?

I used this with a hacked head unit on another marque and i think with the torque app or dash command on my phone. I had five analogue Guages running on the display and the layout is customisable. It been a while and that vehicle is gone now.
