    1985 Mercury Black Max oil alarm >3k RPM

    my experience with tha module is very limited.. i can't remember any motor i've had that we retained a functioning oiler.. not because of failure of tha oiler it was because we usually had "0" knowledge of tha motors "TRUE" past.. ie: hours, how it was maintained, ever been over heated etc...

    1985 Mercury Black Max oil alarm >3k RPM
