Nope. I could probably find out though - you can take out the sender without draining the oil. I wonder if the bolt chart at the hardware store would be big enough to tell me the thread size...
Mercedes M117 (same as M116 for this purpose)...not that knowing that helps anybody.

3/8 is what I bet lol
Why don't you just tap in a T into your oil feed line and make an adapter going from your unknown fitting to whatever the gauge kit uses. I've done it that way on one of my prev cars.

edit: I never heard of that engine, matter of fact I have never even touched a mercedes besides driving it and being a passenger lol.

I'd just call around local parts stores for that size fittings.

Anybody else seen the yellow IS300 with the disgusting bodykit and the hello kitty stuff in the back glass?

BTW grk, so far I'm thinking it was the sender. I'm not declaring victory until I make it to midday tomorrow without issue though.

i talked to the mb tech and he said dont go by the dash gauge.. he told me he had the mechanical gauge hooked up and it was reading from up to 9-10 bar when throttling and it would come down to 1.5 bar when at a stop light which he didnt see a problem with since you have it cammed... he said as long as you dont have that needle drop off completely you should be fine
