an oil pressure gauge is different from an oil temp gauge all cars already have an oil pressure switch u can just use that fitting 2 install the new sensor, and the water temp gauge also has a fitting 2 install the sensor, but since our engines dont have an oil temp gauge i waswondering if anybody knew of a spot that has an oil fitting besides the oil pressure sensor switch

My point exactly - to piggy back with the use of a dual output adapter, an oil temp sensor.

Where is the oil fitting located on the engine that runs to the oil light?

Well one part says its on the back of the block. Then that guy said if the fitting was too long it would hit the a/c fan housing so that would mean it was on the front of the block. No one indicates exactly where it is. And from everyones different posts its kinda confusing. I haven't yet looked on my engine for it, though if I did I may be able to find it that way.
thanks, Damon

By the oil filter/cooler, front of engine. That's the one referred to in the link. "Vanished", may be referring to a secondary access plug on the rear of the engine, but I've not seen one in the manual.
