your over thinking the pressure switch if you want I will take better pics for you and email them -we basically have the same thing
I know after it is finished I am going to be smacking my forehead saying duh. I have an idea of how the pressure switch and low oil level switch will go, the biggest part I don't know about is how it all comes together with the switches on the motor starter and which terminals they would go to at the bottom of the relay.

If you have your starts switch circut figured out then its just a matter of putting the safty switches in series.
Hope that helps.

Should I add a distribution block to the motor starter box for the ground and common or will I be alright just running the ground to the motor and pressure switch and not ground the cabinet of the motor starter?
As far as Grounds go, you can just run the ground through the box and twist a pig tale with a wire nut off the ground and put it to a ground lug or to a mounting bolt. Earth grounds are usually uninsulated and basically they keep you from being shocked if a problem occurs.
I hope this makes sense.

I am also assuming I would have been fine using the 6-2(red/black/ground) wire I originally had but returned for 6-3(red/black/common/ground) because I thought I needed the common/neutral for the 110v relay circuit but as far as I can tell it isn't needed.
After I posted that I guess it would still be better to use the 6ga common and ground together for the grounding of everything since the 6ga may help carry the load better if needed?

You could have pulled a smaller seperate wire for ground leg with the other 6-2 you ran.
