Default How do i add an oil pressure guage to 2012 JK wrangler?

So I am looking for some help with adding a oil pressure gauge to my 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4dr.
Does anybody know how to put a oil pressure gauge on a 2012 jeep 3.6L V6? I have found all the gauges and a pillar pod to mount them on but I am looking for someone that has done this. Is there another port other than where the oil sender is at on the back side of the engine?

You can just run an Aeroforce gauge which monitors a whole bunch of parameters including oil pressure, as the PCM is already monitoring this. Its plug and play into your obd2 port. This is what I am running to monitor trans temps, oil pressure, coolant temps, etc.

Thanks for the reply. that is what i am finding out probably less expensive in the long run and will get more out of that type of read out.

If you have an Android tablet or phone, you might check around if anyone is using Torque Pro to monitor oil pressure. Ask how they did it. I use Torque Pro on my '07, but oil pressure was not monitored back then (just a good-bad switch). I can read out lots of other things, though.
