What is the Oil Center?

When you get serious about your motor, you want to keep track of oil pressure and oil temperature.  This is critical when using your car on the track and just plain cool on the street.

Gauges are easy.  Many choices including VDO (OEM for BMW) that match your dash instruments are available.  Mounting them is also easy using a dash panel or instrument pod.

Where to get the information?   Also easy - with the UUC Motorwerks Oil Center.  This replacement oil filter lid is decorative as well as functional.  Its handsome machined-aluminum design incorporates sensor ports for the appropriate pressure and temperature sender for the gauges.  It is also engraved with the correct torque specs for the mounting bolt.

The Oil Center can be used as part of a complete gauge package or simply as a decorative piece to dress up the engine compartment of your E36 323i, 325i, M3, M Roadster/Coupe, and many other BMW models with conventional oil canister cap.  It comes pre-tapped with two 1/8 NPT ports complete with plugs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.  Why use 1/8 NPT ports?
A.  By using 1/8 NPT ports, there are a wider variety of gauges and sending units available to use.  For example, you can use many gauges from VDO, Autometer, Intelletronix, etc because of this common sender size.  Additionally, this sender size is generally less expensive than their metric counterparts (if they exist).

Q.  What cars does this fit?
A.  It fits E36 325s,  M3s (3.0 and 3.2L) and M Roadster/Coupe.  It does not fit '96-99 328 as it is designed to replace the metal oil filter housing cap which uses the through bolt to secure it.
