What is this? (see picture)

[JStockwell]

What is this bolt for? What's under it?

If it is oil... can I use it for tap point for older style amsoil bypass filter?

Thanks.

oh yes there is oil there

looking at the service manuel page 9-231



I am not expert so I will give no advice if this is the best place to tap in.



Search the archive using Amsoil bypass filter and you should find a bunch of reading

It is an excellent port for an oil temperature sensor as it leads to the oil galley that feeds the turbo. I am not familiar with the Amsoil bypass filter, so I cannot comment on whether it can be used for this purpose or not.

That is where most people connect their bypass oil filters.

or the spot to hook in the second turbo for its oil feed

I was told it was a port for an oil temp sender used for overtemp shutdown applications like stationary generators and the like. I use it for an oil temp sender too.

I have my Bypass filter hooked into that port. Works well. No loss in pressure.
