I want to avoid taking the oil sender out twice (so I can find the size, and then put it in and drive to the hardware store and take it out again to put in a hose end and run it to a T...) so, does anyone know what the size and thread is on a 93 Civic D16z6? I'm going to do it this way...pretty cool. http://www.theoldone.com/articles/oilpressure/

Thanks!

 

1/8 NPT works.

 

That's what fits right into the block? Thanks!

 

If you want to do it right, it's 1/8"BSPT.

 

So, which is it? I'm not exactly sure what NPT or BSPT means...is BSPT the fitting used for steel braided lines? I'm just going to use high pressure hose with some slack and mount it well...so, can I use either fitting?

 

Also...will I have to drain off some of the oil before I take off the filter? or if the car's cold should it be low enough to not lose much?

 

autometer part #2269... 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT

and yes u can take your oil filter out without draining the oil..

Ok, i'm doing the same install on my 97 civic. I have went to the big and small hardware stores and the same with auto parts stores. Why can't I find a 1/8" tee fitting!?!??!?!?!? The guy at Advanced Auto Parts said his buddy had to order the tee fitting when he redid his civic engine. Is something of this size really that hard to find??

 

homedepot!
