Stock oil pressure gauge

Is the stock oil pressure gauge accurate or should i get an aftermarket gauge? If so, what gauge should i get? I'm looking at a Auto meter gauge but it only reads to 100 psi, is that enough? Thanx for the help, sorry to be a bother

The stock gauge isn't intended to be used to get accurate readings, it's only to give you an indication and isn't alot better than an idiot light (just better looking). Get an aftermarket one.

Plenty, unless you've modified the oiling system pressure shouldn't go much higher than about 70psi.
