This is a great idea! I will add my results in a few days.
If your pressure sensor mounts in a sandwich plate, you are measuring the oil pressure going INTO the oil filter. This reading will be higher than the actual engine oil pressure, since it takes some pressure to push the oil through the filter.
If your pressure sensor is mounted in the factory location, you are measuring the oil pressure AFTER the oil filter.
On a future episode MotorvateDIY Garage, we will show how much pressure it takes to push oil through the oil filter.
