Default Oil pressure test

Anyone know what size the hole is or what fitting I need to measure oil pressure
I bought this kit and none of these fittings fit

Isn't it the 3/8 NPT? Maybe M12x1.5? I have a LR3 but perhaps you have to use a fitting in the block and an adapter to oil pressure gauge for that fitting...

Where did you try to put it? It is 1/8" pipe if you are removing the oil pressure switch. If you have an 03-04 you can remove one of the plugs and get a similar one at AZ or Advance, drill a hole in the center and tap for 1/8" pipe.

Im not drilling anything. I want to screw a fitting into the hole where the oil pressure sensor goes into

So after my oil pressure issues my landy mechanic replace the oil pump and front cover as they were worn out
after 3 weeks all was fine now oil light on again
sometimes at idle sometimes while driving sometimes it stays on for 20-40 seconds etc
if this was a bearing issue wouid the light not come on within s few hours days after pump change ?
I replaced the pressure switch and put in 15w40 rottela
but still getting low pressure oil light
this is getting frustrating
