As long as you use compressed air (NOT oxygen- oil+oxygen=VERY BAD), and
don't exceed the gauge's max pressure, I don't see why you couldn't. A
friend of mine used to calibrate aircraft fuel pressure gauges and
regulators with a similar method (using compressed nitrogen). Does anybody
else see any problems with this method?

> Can an oil pressure gauge be calibrated with compressed air (GMC gauge
for AD truck)? I want to see if 40psi on the gauge is really 40psi (or at
least close). Also, I have an electric GMC temp gauge ('52 I think) that I
want to use (in lieu of the capillary Chev gauge) in my AD truck. I can't
seem to find the sensor anywhere. Can anyone point me in the right
direction? Thanks.
