My only concern is that the temperature probe may block/restrict the oil flow if inserted too deeply into the fitting. You may have to extend the 1/8" NPT fitting, so the probe will not impede oil flow.

I guess this could also be used with a pressure sensor to get oil pressure?

That's a neat idea. What kind of guage(s) would you use?

Good call, attached is a pic of the temp sending unit, I will defiantly use an extension of some kind. I might be able to get away with out an extension but why risk it.

alright folks this is going to work great.



A tee gives the sensor a nice path to the oil which should make it accurate and responsive.



Test fit, all I need is a cap.
