That is a good idea you kindly offered - epoxy a brass nipple on the spare/test oil cap ? Something like this +a cap?
Brass 1/8" Hose Barb x 1/8" Male NPT Fitting - AMFLO# 399. Or a 1/4"NPT x1/8"NPT brass bushing with a removeable 1/8" npt hose barb and a 1/8" plug to fill the hole when you are done testing?Source from HomeDepot or similar.
Much better than an uncertain diagnosis of AOS beginning to fail.
You are better off to take an old oil cap and permanently mount a fitting to it:
