Any hydraulic shop should have a 1/8" male X female X female tee fitting.

I thought about that. It's hard to explain, so I took a picture of a valve. This is what it looked like in the block. The threaded part ended and there was a small hole in the center. So when I ran the pipe tap in, any shavings were in the bottom and I could use a q-tip to pull them out and didn't have to worry about them getting into the block. I was going to put a Tee in place, but that would would have meant taking out the oil filter to clear the Tee. I just changed the oil and filter, and it wasn't worth finding out how much oil I would loose by removing the oil filter just to have the idiot light.. lol
