If the pressure drops enough to trigger the light, sure. OTOH if you
usually see 50PSI on your gauge while cruising down the freeway at 65MPH
-- pulling numbers out of my ass -- and one day you're cruising the same
freeway at the same speed and only see 35PSI, you might catch whatevers
amiss before it becomes a catastrophic problem. Had that scenario
happen in a watercooled VW years ago and was able to get by with only
replacing the oil pump instead of the entire engine, because I caught it
in time, because of the gauge.
