So I found lots of threads about this but lots of pictures that don't show up. F U Photobucket. I wanted to get a consensus that these are the right ports if you want to monitor oil pressure and temp at the filter housing.

In my case I have a sandwich adapter that has a single port on it that I will use to trigger the electric fan on the oil cooler.

My question, is this the correct locations?

swap them around.. your pressure is raw temp from the pan, where the temp sensor is cooled oil.

common is temp where your pressure is
if you need pressure take a main galley plug drill/tap for 1/8"npt
mains 4/5 are blocked.. on pickup #3 is blocked by the engine mounts
#1 has ports on DS/PS.. DS is raw and supply,

So you are saying put the temp on the top and pickup a M14x5 to 1/8 npt to go in the block? Looks like the port right in front of the factory pressure sensor is a good location on the Kodiak.

The cooled /filtered oil from the sandwich adapter comes back into what port? It would be nice to see pre and post temps to check the effectiveness of the setup.
