Hi David,
I believe there is no oil pressure indication in the dash on that car.
The model that comes after it ..
I had one, the  1959 ID-19 ...
basically the same engine...and with all manual shifting and steering
controls ( unlike the deluxe DS-19 )
had no oil warning light at all....'nuthin' ...
just check the oil on the dipstick is the only 'indication' .

and now we have modern cars with no dipstick .  lol.
Scott
