He seems like the kind of person who would not change his oil, blow up his engine, and then complain about what a POS his engine is.te72;1841935 said:

If you call autometer, they will probably send you a new gauge with no hassle. They have been known to be good about this kind of thing as long as you aren't a jerk on the phone.
That nut on the back holds the fitting to the gauge housing, it's not some magical nut that recalibrates space and time. They probably don't want people to mess with it cause there is no reason to unless you're taking the gauge apart, which voids the warranty. It doesn't need to be very tight, just a little more than finger tight. That's just the way they are, it won't come loose.
The usual reason for a gauge to read drastically wrong is because it was dropped HARD. I've seen parts like that used to play hockey (as the puck) in a parts chain store I used to work in. Next time mail order it from a reputable place and don't buy some teenage counter jockey's makeshift sports equipment.

Yeah, because we keep getting members like you. You chose not to follow the directions on your gauge, and now its broken. Whining because its broken and saying the gauge is a POS isn't going to solve anything, but it does say a lot about your maturity level.planemos;1842018 said:

Sometimes things can be fixed. I thought maybe someone had taken apart a gauge before and knew how to fix this issue. Guess not. Ya'll fail. I win. Just changed my oil thanks for reminding me haven't changed it in like 9 months it was really low like touching the L is that ok?
