For fear of incurring scorn, I have always been a silent fan of idiot lights. After the initial vetting of an engine that is new to me, I don't care what the oil pressure is. It is an extremely safe assumption that the oil pressure will remain OK unless something catastrophic happens--like a pin shearing, or a fitting cracking as happened to me this very morning. In a good running car on a long drive, the chances of me noticing a sudden oil pressure drop are miniscule before the rods begin to rattle.
