That's true on the '95+ Miatas. The '90-'94 models have a real oil pressure gauge. On the 2006+ MX-5's, they really went bizzare. The sending unit for oil pressure is a simple on/off switch, but then the ECU takes info from various sensors, such air and coolant temperature, engine rpm etc., and uses that info to simulate a real oil pressure gauge. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cryin.gif No, I'm not making this up.
