Is there an oil Pressure warning light?
Does anyone from you MB techs out there know if MB cars have a warning light for the oil pressure “along” with the oil pressure gauge? Or is it only the gauge warns for low pressure?

Expensive fix!
You would think for a serious thing like loosing oil pressure they'd put a red light along with a gauge (or even replace the gauge with light) so it attracts more attention...i think they did that with newer models. How many times you hear that someone drove their car without knowing/realizing there was no oil pressure and the engine seized?
In any case, just to share with you know, the dealer wants $900+tax for a new instrument cluster (could be much more for newer models). They also said they can order me the gauges unit (Temp/Oil/Fuel) for $472+tax. You can find these things on ebay and junkyards for less than $50.
