Get the 0-100 psi or 0-200psi that is if they are the same price. 0-100psi should do the trick.

0-100psi. You shouldn't be going over 100psi unless something is very wrong.

How do you know this? Is this listed somewhere in one of the service manuals? I need to know what psi the oil is pressurized to and I need to know what the normal range is.
