simple oil pressure tap on my w210 - 50harleyrider - 02-24-2016

Where would be the easiest location to connect a mechanical oil pressure gage to my OM606.962? Also what would be the ideal warm pressures at idle and 2500 RPM? I'm running 5w40 Rotella T6 in it now.

I tapped one of the plugs in the oil filter housing to 1/4 pipeĀ  worked fine. Oil pressure on a OM 606 I just put into a 2007 Jeep JK, warm at idle 20 psi 40 at 2500.

Thanks Zeeman. I need a lesson in posting photos directly on the forum. Do I see a spot of ketchup on your IP? You did eat off it, right? Awesome!

I am no computer expert either, you don't know the half of it on this conversion I did. I worked 4 months straight on this conversion for a customer, and he didn't appreciate any of it.
