84 4k oil pressure light

[Bares, Vittorio]

Mike - thanks, seems pretty straight forward. Checking ETKA it shows a
0.25 bar switch and a 1.8 bar switch - so you are right on track. I'll
change that out and see how we do from there...

high oil pressure switch.

Think they have two, the first comes on a below 7.5 psi anytime, the
other comes on below 30psi but only if the revs are above 2k rpm
