    Default Oil pressure & temp sensors

    On the oil housing there are 3 sensors, which ones are the oil pressure & oil temp?

    What is the 3rd one for?

    Low level warning light - I'm not 100% sure though.

    Guessing, 6 could be oil temp 7 is the oil pressure sender, 8 is the low oil pressure light sender and 6 in the second pic might be the low oil sensor.




    I will confirm later though unless someone can do it for me

    I found it in the pdf. The lowest sensor is the dash low level light, the sensor with the plastic round thing (no. 7 in the pic above) is the pressure sensor, and the one above that mounts vertically is temp.

    I've got an SPA oil temp & pressure gauge, but the thread diameters are wrong, so need to get some adapter made up.

    Good guessing then

    You got the dual display type? Very smart they are!

    Yeah dual oil temp/pressure, smart looking gauge - just want to get the sensors plumbed in now!

    You may have other sources but this place is good for adaptors:

    I would have thought tapered as well... but they both bolt up tight with a sealing washer, not tapered as per the sump plug. I haven't got any thread gauges for bspt or npt, I'll be able to measure the taper as well if it is.

    For future reference, both oil temp and oil pressure sensors are M14 fine (1.5mm pitch) - close guess Jack!
