Digital Voltmeter directly to your battery. Mine helped me to identify any battery/alternator issues before they got out of control. Also helps if you have a stereo system to make sure it's not stressing your battery too much.

I personally would prefer oil temp over oil pressure. Thats just my opinion though.

water temp, oil temp, oil pressure would be my 3 biggest on N/A cars. maybe voltage after that only if i had a power draining stereo system.



oil pressure, wideband, and finally boost on a forced induction vehicle.

I've gone through so many alternators, a voltmeter is very high on the list. Also oil pressure and water temp.
