The title I think explained it well enough... don't want to under or over torque it. I looked forum and bentley wide - nothing!

I decided to screw it in without knowing and found that as you get to a certain point, the threads pass all the way through the upper oil pan wall. I spins much more easily at this point, but still forms a tight seal... kinda interesting.

Upon analyzing my old oil pressure sensor, I found that it had a smooth section at the top below the actual sensor where there were no threads - designed that way I guess.
