Something visual and audible would be better than just 1 indicator. You may not be looking at the gauges when the light goes on. You may be playing the radio when the buzzer goes off.

My Ram is more likely to have low fuel pressure and lose the $1,000 IP than it is to lose oil. The oil cooler lines on a 617 are 1 possible cause of sudden oil loss that isn't on a Cummins.

There is room to mount a light in the A-Pillar on the Ram. Making or modifying an A-Pillar mount for the SD would be interesting. There is a list on hybridZ that lists alternate pillar mounts that can be modified. I can compare the SD to the Z as I have both.

I've also thought about making a wooden replacement for the ash tray and coin tray for use as a gauge mount. This would work but wouldn't be as visible as A-Pillar gauges.
