Not cross reference but several people have installed a regular oil pressure valve there to just read the actual pressure..pull out the sensor measure threads and pitch anything that matches should work.

You are suspecting a problem with your sending unit?

Yea, it's called "NOT WORKING". I have removed it and tested it with an OHM meter, it is stuck open making no contact at all. Cleaned it with cleaners and got it to work a couple time and it quite again, so it's time to replace it.
Mother Honda wants $28 bucks for a new one and I think I can find one a lot cheaper than that.

Strangely, as I recall, the thread size for the oil sending unit I believe is British Standard straight pipe thread (someone please correct me if I'm wrong...). I'm on the road right now so can't check for sure. I added an oil pressure gauge and was originally going to 'T' off the sending unit but stayed away from it after I found this 'weirdness', plus the BS pipe T was also not cheap...about $25 when I found one.

IMHO, you might want to spring for the OEM sender and be done...
