Is the stock oil pressure sensor measuring before or after the oil filter?

 

i belive it is before , on its way to the filter

 

Knew this wouldn't be that easy.

Anyone have suggestions for installing a sender that will measure pressure after the filter? I imagine someone makes a sandwich adapter with ports for pressure and temperature ports, but I'd like to keep the plumbing to a minimum and avoid relocating the filter.

 

golden eagle oil sandwich adapter thingy.... check there site for more info you can put the oil presure sensor in the port on the adapter and block off any additional ports you don't need

why do you really care?

 

the stock oil pressure sensor might as well light up a green "$$$" on your dash when it goes off.

Thanks, that should work. I knew I'd seen something like that before, but I couldn't remember who made it.

As for why...

I'd like to switch to a Canton Mecca spin-on filter, and use a pressure gauge to monitor it. A pre-filter pressure sensor won't be much help here.

 

what do you mean by that?

By the time it lights up, chances are you're already paying for a tear down.
