If you haven't been a long-standing owner of a variety of MBs, you probably don't know that the oil pressure gauges on these cars are dynamic...they actually TELL you something!

A lot of other vehicles have electric gauges that just move the needle to some stasis point when you start the car, and remain there unless there is a problem.

I have an Auto Meter mechanical gauge in my VW and it fluctuates (slowly) with rpm and such, including reading high upon startup, when the oil is thickest. I marvel at MB's system reporting the slightest nuances in oil pressure changes...unconventional for electrical gauges...
