Mine vibrates so bad that it looks blurry, but it don't go crazy over bumps, that's wild

if his is a 97, they make a resistor or something to help fix it. Also how long has this lasted?

Uhh no. You have to unplug that stuff to remove the dash bezel.

Oh wow, that went so far over my head. Guess I should read slower.

You can now start ignoring all of my posts. I feel ashamed.

No, you want to use an oil. This stuff is thick, but it won't go solid. Regular silicone will. I've heard of people using 50k and even 100k weight oil, but the 30k works and I can't imagine waiting for the air bubbles to work through anything thicker ha.

Well idk but I can tell you that 30k silicone oil is MUCH thicker than dielectric grease ha.

 

[ChrisAU]

I would think dielectric grease is too "*****" due to the additives, the oil needs to be thick but movable so the gauge can function without burning the motor up.
