Oil pressure switch threshold
 
Does anyone know the threshold for activation of the OEM oil pressure switch (aka dummy light)? Bonus points if you know what it is for the 996 sender/switch combo. Thanks!

Never mind, I think I found it.

I know the stock sensor in a 996 is a 5 bar sender/switch combo with a m14x1.5 thread. Vdo has an exact match for this sensor, and the technical specs are here.

Idiot light comes on at .5 +/- .15 bar. Seems pretty low to me (that could be as low as 4psi). But hey, what do I know.
