If so, that's brilliant!!! How did it work out for you? I tried something much more complicated and am not happy with the out come. My next step was to tap the oil pan spacer but if this worked for you it's much easier than pulling the pan.

Yep that's exactly what I did lol. I ordered the AN fitting from a local shop with a 1/8 NPT thread (I think). Then I went to Home Depot and pieced the rest together. It works pretty good. There is a little lag in the reading because the probe is somewhat recessed and not fully immersed in the oil current. But it has worked pretty well for me.
