    Here is the one I installed in my 912ul.
    It's possible you might need a metric adapter. I did not in my case.

    I was looking into this recently as well. There are a couple different ones. From what I can see they will both work provided they are wired correctly. I haven't powered it up yet so don't trust that diagram but I did write the wiring difference and the part numbers.

    So my sender has a red, green and black wire. My harness pins out from 17 and 18. Does the black wire from the sender just go to the ground?

    Hi Dave,

    Can you provide the part number for the Oil Pressure transducer you have installed on your aircraft?

    Thanks,

    Justin

    Nobody on this forum is using a Garmin oil pressure sender? Perhaps I'll just guess and hope the smoke doesn't leak out of the G3x. If it does leak out, how do you get the smoke back in?

    Update..... The Garmin oil pressure sender is made by Kavilco. SteinAir helped me out with the pin out.
