Default 1/8 MPT Oil Temp Sensor Needed

I'm doing a Dry Sump and need to get a Oil Temp Sensor, with a 1/8 MPT thread, that is electronically compatible with the C5. Any suggestions?

Car is a 2002 C5Z, if that matters.

MPT = Male Pipe Thread, FPT = Female, NPT = National, just asexual.


And I like the way your AR identifies itself, that is just funny. I am in the Peoples Republic of NY ; I wonder if Cuomo would be sensitive to how my black rifle identifies itself.

Fair enough...

In that case, how about a 1/8MPT to 1/4FPT adapter? Damn site cheaper than a new sensor.
