Default oil plug fitting size////plus a oil pressure question all in one thread

it is the one that is on the driver side of the block. in the front behind where the alternator was at from the factory. i think it is a m16 x??. just needing to make a order for fittings.

also just to double double check myself. that is a pressure port right?

ive looked at diagrams for oil flow and i am 99% sure it is, but it never hurts to ask other opinions.

That is a M16 pressure port but it is before the filter, so it should not be used for anything.

There is another location on the rear of the block on the drivers left. Eleventh Hour Performance sells a fitting that fits this location. This location is in the pressure side and on the clean side of the filter.
