Probably looking to insert a fitting for an oil pressure gauge?

^^ LULZ at the responses.

You don't need to tap the oil pan for an oil pressure gauge.

He's looking to tap his oil pan for oil return.

Aimen, have you considered buying an oil pan spacer and tapping that instead? Seems that's what a lot of people are doing. I think there's actually a spacer out there that's already pre-tapped. I don't remember which one it was.

You don't need to tap the oil pan on our cars to install a mechanical or electronic oil pressure gauge. You get your reading from the oil sending unit.

I am pretty sure AAM ones come tapped, or powerlab spacers.

Tap the oil pan for an oil pressure reading?.... WTF??

There's no oil pressure in the oil pan except for the weight of the oil against the bottom and sides of the pan. Hahahaha!
