Oil Pressure
I'd like to measure oil pressure on my 14 GL550. On most engines, you'd remove the oil pressure sender and attach a gauge but on the M278 I can't find reference to oil sender unit. I haven't found oil pressure parameter in Xentry either. Does anyone know how to measure oil pressure on this engine?

I don't see a port on the oil filter housing. Could you point to it in this picture if possible? Thanks.
