My own analysis of this condition sidestepped the "mechanical gauge verification" because I had some evidence (based on some 20W-50 Castrol bottle found in the trunk) the PO left me this problem. I think you'll find the B21 and B23 cars use 1/8-27 NPT (National Pipe Thread) with a standard taper that all the gauges of that era used -- nothing exotic.

The square o-ring at the delivery pipe seems to be a common problem. Here's how I dealt with it: Volvo 240 Oilpan
