I'm afraid that have to change the gauge too. I put a real oil pressure 

gauge and sender into my '96 a few months ago and believe me, changing 

the gauge itself is *much* easier than replacing the sender units. They 

are not easy to get at! I am so glad I did it, though. That idiot gauge 

had to go! Check places like Mazmart and Mazda Auto Recycling (where I 

got my gauge and sender). Much cheaper than dealers.
