We were told the Oil Pressure Sensor appeared to be the culprit after an oil change. We ordered it but now have to figure out where it is and how difficult it will be to remove and replace it on our vehicle.

Hey NITWITT100,

No problem, i will attach the location and instructions to replace below.

I have also included the instructions for removing the engine shielding to access.

There is a special socket you will require but a 1 1/16" socket will work as long as it is deep enough. You can also buy a special socket for this application relatively cheaply online.

Hope this helps, any further questions please do not hesitate to ask.

Regards, Joe
