Thanks for the help, it does help and confirms most of what I suspected so far.

Regarding threadlock - there is nothing in the instructions that would suggest using any teflon nor threadlock, just "lubricant". (https://cdn.z1motorsports.com/upload...tallManual.pdf) I will look a bit more what do other installation manuals suggest, I'm guessing a bit of teflon can't hurt. I'll see if I can get permatex instead too.

Regarding threads - Well, the more you know

I didn't know this about the threads and now that I'm looking into it - definitely the threads on the sensor and the T-fitting are different. I also found this thread where there is more information: Oil Pressure Sensor threads size
I'll see what adapter I need and I'll get those too. Thanks for this help!

And lastly, regarding wiring - no problem in pulling wires from the battery to the inside, I already located all the holes in the firewall and how/where to do it. I'm more confused by the instructions identifying 3 wires I need to connect (+, -, orange), and it tells me that orange needs to go to the battery. This part confuses me. I guess Orange needs to either go to the fuse or somewhere else? Please help

Thanks!
