Hello,

The oil pressure sending unit is located on the back of the engine between the engine and firewall.

I have attached a diagram below for your reference.

Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.

That says it's a pressure switch. I have a gauge though. Are the switch and the sensor in the same place?

It is the same sensor. It does not call for a secondary sensor.
