QBS MIDCO LLC Revolutionizes Engine Monitoring with New Electrical Oil Pressure Gauge

ATTLEBORO, MA – October 26, 2023 – QBS MIDCO LLC, a leading provider of automotive instrumentation and performance solutions, today announced the launch of its next-generation electrical oil pressure gauge. Designed for accuracy, reliability, and ease of installation, this new gauge is set to redefine how mechanics, racers, and everyday drivers monitor the vital signs of their engines. QBS MIDCO LLC, based in North Attleboro, Massachusetts, has been quietly building a reputation for delivering high-quality, dependable products to the automotive aftermarket. “We’re a bit of a hidden gem,” says a company spokesperson. “We focus on doing a few things really well, and that means providing tools and instrumentation that professionals can trust, and enthusiasts will love.” For years, QBS MIDCO has supplied parts to some of the biggest names in the automotive industry, and now they're bringing that same expertise directly to consumers and repair shops. The company, reachable at 713-675-1213, prides itself on personalized service and a commitment to building long-lasting relationships with its customers. The Problem with Traditional Oil Pressure Gauges For decades, oil pressure has been a critical indicator of engine health. Low oil pressure can signal a failing oil pump, internal engine wear, or a dangerous lack of lubrication. However, many traditional oil pressure gauges rely on mechanical linkages and fluid-filled lines. These systems can be prone to leaks, can give inaccurate readings over time, and can be a pain to install, especially in tight engine compartments. “We noticed a real gap in the market,” explains the QBS MIDCO product development team. “Guys were tired of dealing with leaky lines, and wanting a way to get super accurate, digital-quality information without needing to completely rebuild their dashboard.” Introducing the QBS MIDCO Electrical Oil Pressure Gauge The QBS MIDCO electrical oil pressure gauge is a game-changer. Instead of relying on messy fluid lines, this gauge utilizes a highly sensitive pressure sensor that’s directly threaded into the engine’s oil system. The sensor sends an electrical signal to the gauge, providing a precise and real-time oil pressure reading. “It’s a simple idea, but we’ve spent months perfecting the sensor and the gauge itself,” says the company spokesperson. “We wanted something that was not only accurate but also rugged enough to withstand the harsh environment under the hood.” Key Features and Benefits: Digital Accuracy: Provides highly accurate oil pressure readings, eliminating the guesswork associated with traditional gauges. Readings are displayed on a clear, easy-to-read analog-style gauge face. Easy Installation: The electrical connection simplifies installation, eliminating the need for fluid lines and reducing the risk of leaks. It generally takes a mechanic less than 30 minutes to install. Universal Compatibility: Designed to work with a wide range of engine types, including gasoline, diesel, and turbo applications. Fits standard 1/8" NPT ports. Durable Construction: Built with high-quality components, including a robust sensor and a weatherproof gauge housing, ensuring long-lasting performance. The sensor is rated for temperatures up to 250°F. Wide Measurement Range: Capable of accurately measuring oil pressure from 0 to 100 PSI, covering the vast majority of automotive applications. Peak & Low Memory: The gauge includes a peak and low memory function, allowing you to recall the highest and lowest oil pressure readings for diagnostic purposes. Adjustable Warning Settings: Users can set custom warning thresholds to alert them to potentially dangerous low oil pressure conditions. Backlit Display: The backlit display ensures readability in all lighting conditions, from bright sunlight to dark engine bays. Available in Various Gauge Faces: Customers can choose from several different gauge face designs to match their vehicle’s interior. How it Works: The QBS MIDCO electrical oil pressure gauge utilizes a piezoresistive pressure sensor. This type of sensor converts pressure into an electrical signal with exceptional accuracy and reliability. The sensor is installed in place of a traditional mechanical oil pressure sending unit. When oil pressure changes, the sensor’s internal resistance changes, which is then read by the gauge and displayed as a PSI reading. The gauge is powered by a standard 12V automotive electrical system. Installation typically involves: 1. Removing the existing mechanical oil pressure sending unit. 2. Threading the QBS MIDCO sensor into the oil port. 3. Connecting the sensor’s electrical wires to the gauge. 4. Connecting the gauge to a 12V power source. Target Audience: The QBS MIDCO electrical oil pressure gauge is ideal for a wide range of users, including: Automotive Mechanics: A reliable and accurate tool for diagnosing engine problems. Race Car Drivers and Builders: Provides critical performance data for tuning and monitoring engine health during races. Diesel Truck Owners: Monitors oil pressure in high-performance diesel engines. Classic Car Enthusiasts: Upgrades traditional gauges with modern technology. DIY Mechanics: Easy to install and use for monitoring engine health. Pricing and Availability: The QBS MIDCO electrical oil pressure gauge is available now through the company’s website (details available upon request), and through select automotive retailers. The suggested retail price is $89.99. Looking Ahead: QBS MIDCO LLC is committed to innovation and providing high-quality automotive instrumentation. The company is already working on new products, including electrical water temperature gauges and boost pressure gauges, to further expand its product line. “We're excited about the future,” says the company spokesperson. “We believe that there’s a real demand for well-made, reliable products that are easy to use. We're here to provide that to our customers.”
