Hello!

I'm planning on installing a few pressure transducers and was wondering what adapters people are using to go from 1/8" NPT to M12x1.5 (common threads for BMW E36 ports). I found some, but saw many reviews of brass ones cracking or breaking off in people's engines.

IMHO for anything critical, like oil, avoid adaptors and spend the extra to get a sensor that fits. Adaptor doubles the points of failure. If you have to have one don't skimp and do it right. Being black flagged by an observant marshal saved my car, adaptor had started leaking oil onto exhaust.
