Default low oil sensor thread size?
does anyone know the low oil sensor thread size? I need to pick up a bolt and put it in there because the sensor is leaking. BTW I have any oil pressure gauge so I dont need it

why would an oil pressure gauge convince you that you dont need a level sensor?

pressure doesn't change with oil level

I think I remember reading on here somewhere that it is a 22mm drain plug.

5.0 Resto has new sensors for cheap! Just put a new one on it and don't screw around trying to find a bolt!
