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

I'll check it tonight on my spare engine, 90% sure it is 1/8 NPT.

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
