Would the stock oil pressure unit work? Your comments contradicts itself in
a way that there may be problems??

I don't want problems. How about if I use a sandwich plate between the
filter and the filter mount. Do you know whats the thread / dimension for
the oil filter mount?

Thanks, appreciate your input.

I agree with the logic and understand the concept, but thats a lot of work
to do it cleanly in the pan. Also, its one more thing closer to ground that
can get snapped by tree stump/stones.

Hey Bill, you would know this for sure. Can I use one of those sandwich
plates in the filter mount and put the sender unit that way? Whats the
thread size for the oil filter mount for 01 TJ I6. I was thinking perhaps I
can get the B&M engine cooling kit and use the cooler for the tranny oil and
use the sandwich plate for engine oil sender. Could that work?

Thanks
TW

Great, all the factory gauges are approximate anyway. Now I will add
another approximate gauge, brilliant. Is there anyway I can use any other
options?
