oil pressure you could tap into the oil filter housing and put a sender in or replace the sump drain plug with a sender.

You cannot put an oil 'pressure' sender in the sump plug -oil temp maybe.

Best place is to remove the original oil pressure sender under the oil filter and replace with a 'tee' piece - attache gauge.
