Oil pressure tells you if the engine is dying or if the Oil is breaking down or overheating. I'd take it over an RPM gage.
A lot of vehicles dont have it in their cluster menus these days.

This is gonna piss some people off, but the worst one is Toyota by a mile. I rent a lot of cars and they are the only one that I can see inside of other vehicles. They either dont adjust them or are purposely pointing them up for some sort of sales reason.
The auto dimming stuff isnt allowed the US yet. Other issue is most cars default to auto highbeams, which suck dick at turning off when needed.
This is completely wrong. Higher mounting means they can be pointed more down, which gives a bigger buffer to them blinding people when the back of vehicle squats. Bus and truck headlights arent an issue because their suspension doesn't squat under normal loads.
Vehicle manufacturers in the US have to meet the new headlight requirements. Which require headlights to be bright as fuck and basically parallel to the ground. Then rear suspension is left soft to improve ride quality in all suvs. Put some weight in it and the front of the vehicle points up. Pickups are usually bad because the suspension is modified or it's overloaded.
A quarter of drivers i swear leave their highbeams on. I have stopped caring and just installed blind people highbeams. 10x brighter than a high output halogen usually gets them to turn off their highbeams.
Philips shape is the next step up from a flat head. Its just a double flat head sort of. It self centers and only requires 2 tooling motions if they are being ground.
The dont overtighten thing has always seemed like a weird misunderstanding that all bit types could be designed to do that.
The recipe is different for the store brand. I did this stuff in the dairy industry for a while. Its not production cycles in dairy, it's vats. So store brand orders a few vats of product, with way lay less actual milk or doesnt specify as high a minimum quality milk products. More dyes and filler during finishing and no aging. All store brands are essentially flavored and colored mozzarella. They are lower quality.
I still buy them though. Mozzarella is good enough for most recipes.
For other products it's similar. Lower tolerances on inputs and outputs to reduce cost. Still probably 80% as good as name brand.
Half of our contractors flew in from Mexico for my current project. Its like 70/30 with them for good/bad. Which is better than basically any installers I've worked with previously.
China in my experience is slavery painted over with the word automation. Any work I've done over there has an insane amount of obscurity to hide the slavery.
Wtf are you talking about. We do use ML for basic maintenance predictions. In general it's useless though.
I'm awake during a fuckin maintenance window right now. You know literally nothing about automation based on how you talk about it.
You are so wrong I dont have simple words to describe it.
I'm a controls engineer who literally installs automation systems. AI is mostly useless in our industry, Claude barely scratches the surface of what we do. The coding is somewhat simple. The problem is how difficult the physical interaction is.
Having worked with Chinese controls people, they arent any better than the US engineers often they are significantly worse. No idea why. The guys from Mexico are way better from my experience.
OBD2 primarily works when the vehicle is running. It can be used to tune some vehicles while they are on. What car do you have that doesn't have the OBD port on while its running? It would be illegal in most states in the US.
