You could record the sensor voltage via an analog interface to a smartphone. This way you could make shure that the gauge doesn't shop crap. Also same time you could record g-forces to compare and evaluate data.

Indeed via OBD it's a bit difficult to get the oil pressure. But it's there - in PIWIS you can see it as data. Should be identifiable via an obd port sniffer. But that is not an easy and quick to solve thing. Analog conversion and recording from sensor is much easier.

@Steve Tinker: agree. Would be interesting to get oil pressure and temp values from other users that track their cars.
