[s-cars] Oil Pressure

[James C. Mairs]

Chips nice for sure, but if he is new to S-Cars I would suggest he inspects
all his hoses and clamps before doing the chip... Stranded on the side of
the road trying to get to the hose that blew off or ate itself is a bummer.

Samcos and CT clamps could be considered depending on condition of your
existing stuff.

Course I am odd so don't listen to me, the first thing I wanted to upgrade
was the tractor sized drivers wheel... Still trying to source parts from a
S6 for that though... =)
