At what point did the oil pressure gauge go to electrical? My 78 240D has a
pressure tube going to the gauge from a fitting on the oil filter housing
(IIRC).
Haven't bothered to find out how the '91 300D gauge works - but mine has
aways been smooth -
Sincerely,

The only way to be 100% sure is to hook up an mechanical oil gauge to the
motor, to get an idea of what the 'actual' oil pressure is.

the
oil pump or main bearings!
