If I have low oil pressure I want to know the INSTANT that it happens. Not 3 seconds later when I check the gauge, or 10 seconds later when I finally look down after merging onto the highway.

"I watch the gauge on the Benzes, but there's no way to do a good job of both driving and guarding the gauge."

My thoughts exactly. I can't be watching the gauge all the time, but I can be listening for an alarm all the time
