Oil pressure sender thread

What is the thread on the oil pressure sender? I think I have found a VDO 0-7 bar sender (at a price!)

Although the headline says 0-5 bar, the spec says 0-7bar and searching on the VDO part number brings back 0-7

The advert says 1/18" NPTF. There is a subtle difference between NPT and NPTF in the thread form, but to all intents and purposes (assuming some thread sealer) they can be treated the same. To be honest I'm not sure if the casting is threaded NPT or NPTF, but that sender will fit ok. Good find by the way!

1/18" NPTF

Wow. That's a small thread. !!
Guessing you meant to type 1/8" .
