That tee is exactly what I was looking for to still utilize the factory sensor. I was going to install the factory sensor in the rear galley plug but it seemed like just a pain in the ass extra step. I can’t see there being anything negative about using that tee. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the video! I have a 2007 STI and also had clearance issues others have mentioned. I solved it with brass pipe fittings from Home Depot, specifically a 1/8 x 1 1/2 inch MIP nipple and a 90 degree FIP elbow. I inserted the nipple into the block and the elbow on top of that. From there you can attach the tee parallel to the block facing back and slightly to the left (sort of pointed towards the coolant expansion tank), the oil pressure sensor pointing up and perpendicular to the tee and the OEM sensor at the end of the tee.

I just did this on my 2018 sti a few days ago, I’m not sure if they changed fittings size but my alternator was hitting the factory oil sensor making real difficult to put the belt back on so I had to grind down the alternator a bit where the oil sensor would hit. Just an fyi for who ever else does it. Other then that it’s been good. Thanks for the video sir.

I couldn’t do it because the adapter is too long and hit the alternator, any suggestion?

yes you need the stock sensor. for the stock ecu. but if you dont care about that, then you can just get a single plug adapter. i would rather have both options. but it is your car.

If you delete the OEM sensor your oil light will be on all the time on your dashboard.

@@Zazuk68 That is incorrect. If you unplug the OEM switch, the light will NEVER come on. You're thinking about it backwards.
