Everybody seems to have an actual gauge and know what their oil pressure is. Im clueless because I only have a stupid light for oil pressure. So my question is do i need to put a real gauge in???

 

well i have a real gauge but i dont think it works so im kinda in the same boat as you ha

 

No, you don't NEED one. It's really just a luxury. Lots of people do gauge cluster swaps for their earlier year XJs so that they don't have they don't just have those dummy lights. Do a search on how to do it and see if it is something you want to do. I am also in the same boat as GA. Mine doesn't work because I bought an oil pressure sending unit from Autozone and it was faulty from the moment I installed it.

 

Ok cool

 

Need one, no. Want one, yes. The light will tell you when you are done. The gauge will indicate and let you analize what's going on perhaps indicate a developing problem. Me, I always liked having the gauges.

 

Lights suck, go aftermarket or do a swap.
