Oil level is not oil pressure, they are different issues.
Oil pressure is directly related to the amount of oil in the system, too much oil, high pressure, not enough oil, too low. It’s slightly more complicated. But the gauges are there to tell you to check your oil anyways? So why skip not that unnecessary step and just check it…?
Idiots only need those gauges since they don’t check their oil or give their vehicle a visual once over. It starts with a visual inspection, if you’re too much of an idiot to do that, you need to rely on the gauges.
And again, the gauges aren’t just gone, they’re just moved off to the side since they aren’t needed all the time.
Using your race car analogy, you’re not driving a race car, or something where that’s needed immediately. You can dream and wish your car was that fancy I guess.
That live data is all a still available, you don’t need it 24/7 like a race driver. You’re conflating issues and points now. There’s nothing stoping you from viewing the cluster and getting your trends, is there? And those trends can all be found by doing a visual inspection anyways.
No, you can have oil within your min - max range and still have same oil pressure because its a sump system.
Oil pressure is not a good/bad measure, its a range.
Oil pressure tells you about restriction, viscosity, flow. You could have perfect oil level and various pressure readings depending on what is wrong in the engine.
So now you resort to trolling? Dude, by your other comments its clear you don’t understand cars of fluid systems. You were claiming OBD doesn’t work with car running.
Oil pressure is created by your oil pump, not by the volume of oil you hold in the sump, its not a head well. But the pressure you read changes by a lot of factors, which I attempted to educate you on.
Your dipstick checks the level of the sump… what do you think it’s checking? if it’s low or high, it’s indicative of whatever the gauge is telling you.
I’m not trolling because you think you’re educating me, it’s the other way around. You’ve got your head so far up your ass you can’t even see it.
The oil pressure gauge does not tell you how high the sump level is. I.e shut the engine off, pump makes no pressure but sump could be high. The oil pressure gauge ( not a low oil level warning light) shows increments of pressure in your engine block channels which is unrelated to oil level, unless you have run the sump dry and are trying to pump air.
But even with a full sump, oil presdur varies by engine temperature, and other flow issues like blocked oil filter or a filter that switched to bypass mode. How is it that you cannot comprehend these things dude LOL
Apparantly you can’t comprehend that a blockage that creates pressure would increase the volume of the reservoir in the sump since it’s not pumping as fast as it needs too. Or if it’s low, it could be pumping too fast because of a leak.
You’re almost there, you comprehend the basics, but fumble with the gauges being different information that a gauge. Your full sump can also overflow, but your pressure gauge can’t tell you that specifically either.
The gauge is only the sum total of all the parts, it tells you NOTHING other than to check the system, which you should already do regularly regardless anyways.

You can’t tell that with an idiot light.
We get it, you don’t understand how the oil system works.

Its sad that you have dug in and can’t see that.

Sigh. Have a good week my dude
