No, where can I get one? And is it a hassle to check it or is it pretty simple to do? Are the stock ones known to be that "off"? I'm just trying to get close to the proper oil in my car (that way maybe it'll last a little longer, its already up to 170K) , not really trying to get it perfect just as close as I can.

a lot of times autometer and them sell mechanical gauges. IIRC the Wiki gauge I have setup to test oil pressure was like 25$ and it has a span accuracy of like 1.5% or something. Plus $10-15 in fittings/hose. Generally you can undo the plug in the block above the filter, or if you can get to it you can remove the stock oil pressure sender and plug in there.. Electric sending unit gauges aren't the most accurate, especially stock.
