Measuring Idle Engine Oil Pressure [LR Time]

Watched the video from our friends over at LR Time (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRZ37buT4pk)

I would like to check the idle oil pressure of my 3.0 SDV (2012) to ensure within limits before I do an oil change (over to 5W-40 DPF).

Does anyone know where I can find details of the pressure gauge connection point? Unfortunately the video doesn't go into specific detail.

If you have any other advice on this subject area as well please let me know!

[Note that I have a IID Tool]

Cheers

If you look at their previous video, they machined a block to act as a Y piece.

There are also different methods on this forum so worth doing a search

oh right, I see. Thanks for the message!

Is there a recommended search term? I've just checked "engine oil idle check" (and similar) but not sure if there's something more specific you might advise?
