OIL SAMPLE PORT

HAS ANYONE FIGURED OUT A WAY TO INSTALL AN OIL SAMPLE PORT, THERE ARE PARTS AVAILABLE FROM CHECKFLUID, I HAVE USED A KP PUSH BUTTON ON HEAVY EQUIPMENT AND FIND THEY ARE A GREAT WAY TO PULL AN OIL SAMPLE, I HAVE A 2012 TACOMA AND TRYING TO FIND SOMEWERE TO TAP INTO PRESURIZED OIL TO PULL A SAMPLE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, ANY IDEAS WOULD BE APPRECIATED

 

Fumoto plug would be my answer.

 

WHY ARE WE YELLING?

It would be easy to get a sample from my Fumoto valve. Problem solved.

 

Sorry for yelling, bad idea pulling sample from the bottom of a pan, just need to figure a way to pull sample downstream from oil filter on a pressurized oil line

 

Maybe an oil filter sandwich adapter?

 

Why is it a bad Idea to pull from your pan? If you are showing metal etc it would certainly be there and in a running truck that is circulating right?

 

Why not do a oil catch can? You'd be getting oil into it on occasion, but not sure if it's what you are looking for.

 

it would artificially show high wear as the bottom of the pan naturally is lowest spot, I want to see a sample of oil the engine see's

 

the above picture I want to install

 

Yeah, put it in one of these.
Just plug or cap one side, install your sample port on the other.

 

I like oil sandwich adaptor were would I find one

 

perfect idea thanks

 

A metric shit-ton of companies make them. I can't remember the thread pitch offhand.
I've been thinking about getting an Amsoil adapter to run a bypass filter system.

Edit: Looks like 3/4-16 for thread.

 

found one on Amazon $23 sounds fair
thanks for the idea

 

Why not use the remaining oil from your filter?

You usually take a sample during an oil change and right from the filter shouldn't give a "tainted" sample.

 

From reading these threads and former folks who use one the Greddy seems to be the best rated sandwich plate. Just an FYI. I have one and it hasn't leaked yet.

 

No I'm doing trend analysis for possible drain extention
