OTC Tools 5610 Trans-Eng Oil Press Tester

Excellent combination of gauges in one kit works great, top quality good adapters selection, look professional and works the same. Good delivery no damage cheers 🇦🇺

I have been working in the automotive world for over 30 years, this OTC kit was replacing a Snap-on tool unit that was way past its prime. I was going to get another Snap-on because of Snap-on quality. I'm glad I didn't. this one is as good and at 1/4 of the price It has most of the adapters that you will need, no kit has them all that I have found. when I have a car that I don't have a adapter for I will make one from a old oil presser sender for that vehicle. it is cheaper and quicker than finding a adaptor. the hose is plenty long enough and the gauges are easy to read and are high quality I would recommend this to any pro or shade tree technician few tools score high with me, this one gets a 8 out of 10 PROs excellent easy to read gauges high and low gauges good choice of adapters nice blow mold case long hose price $$$ CONs could use 2nd hose for extension when needed hard to get hose into and out of case could still use more adapters

Let me start by saying I have not actually used this product yet, as the engine I was going to use it on showed enough evidence of oil pump failure without this tool, and has since been removed. That being said, this is a really nice kit and while I hope I don't need to use it any time soon, I'm happy that I now have the tool on hand! The gauges are large and very easy to read, and all of the tubing and fittings seem to be made of fair quality materials for occasional use. This may not be the kit that you want if you're pressure testing engines and transmissions on a daily basis, but for those of use who only get the 'pressure scares' every now and then, I think this is perfect. The blow-molded case is also great and makes storing it on a shelf or in a cabinet easy! Overall, I have had good luck with OTC gauges and tools in the past, and I expect nothing less from this kit! I will update my review should I have any issues down the road.

Swivel ends on the hoses make life easier trying to spin the hoses onto th brass fittings and better quality than some tool trucks

WE OWN A AUTO CARE AND BATTERY LOCATION, AND THIS FOR OUR AUTOCARE SIDE WAS A MUST HAVE. THE BEST PRICE AND GREAT QUALITY.

Works as it should the glass cracked on one of the gauge after my first use idk how it happened but I wasn't that rough with it couldn't have been dropped more than half a foot at most that was my only disappointment considering the price

This worked great for testing oil pressure. The manual is a bit ... well, there isn't really a manual per se. You have to infer everything, watch YouTube videos, maybe even read some forums. Here's a couple of things I learned: 1) This kit has brass fitting. These are used for 90 degree elbows, extensions, size changes. All of these are NPT threads. 2) This kit also has aluminum fittings. These are used to connect between a brass fitting and the car's oil pressure sensor port. Aluminum is softer so I have to assume this will help prevent warping the car's port. 3) You can use teflon tape around the NPT brass fittings, but do NOT use teflon tape around the aluminum fitting that you screw into your car. You absolutely do not want to get a piece of teflon into your oil system as it can cause problems. 4) Make sure to hold the oil sensor screw threads against the aluminum fitting and make sure the threads match EXACTLY. For example, the Kia Rio I was testing had 1/8-28 BSP threads. You also get a few other common aluminum adapters for various auto manufacturers. Call the dealer service department if one doesn't match and find out what it is. Someone somewhere surely sells an aluminum adapter to match. 5) Start screwing the aluminum fitting into your car by HAND. After a few rotations it starts to get too tight to hand turn, so use a wrench to continue until it just starts to get tight. Do not overtighten. 6) Start the car and watch the oil pressure for at least 5-10 minutes. Oil pressure psi will be higher when the car first starts and will gradually decrease as the oil warms up. The car I tested started around 60psi and gradually decreased to 26psi. The main thing is you don't want it below 10psi at idle. If it goes below 10psi, you will probably want to turn the car off or else risk ruining the engine. Check the service manual to know your car's exact range. 7) When you accelerate the car, the pressure should jump up. For example, the car I tested jumped from 26psi to 60psi. 8) You don't want to see needle bouncing all around. That can be a sign of low oil or a pump going bad. It will slightly move with the RPM of the car, but it shouldn't be bouncing everywhere. 9) Depending how high up the oil pressure sensor port is located, you may have to drain some oil out of the system before you can unscrew the oil sensor without oil running everywhere. Don't forget to top it back off before testing. After testing, you may then have to drain some oil again before unscrewing the test adapter and putting the oil sensor back in. This tester gave me the peace of mind that the oil pressure in the car I tested is fine, and the oil pressure dashboard light illuminating is most likely due to the wiring harness. It can be safely driven to a mechanic to have the wiring repaired.

This is a really good kit so far and it includes a lot of different connectors and pieces that will hopefully provide what you need to connect it. I had to use a small threaded extension, a coupler and a 90 degree brass end so I could hook the end of the hose up to the transmission. Fortunately, this kit comes with all of those little pieces. It is really nice to have a case to keep all of this in too so it doesn't get lost. Now I just need to try and figure out what all the readings I took from my transmission mean.
