Good afternoon.

You did not list the engine size so I attached a picture of both the 1.5 and the 2.0.

The switch is out in the open and is accessed from the bottom of the car looking up.

I have an AC-Delco replacement but cannot where it is at. Had DTC P06DE. Oil level is fine and engine runs quietly and has no loss of power.

I look under the engine and I'm having difficulty on the location. I asked my buddy where could the location be at. Right above the oil drag plug I looked up ahead and it was close to the manifold is a tight spot. But if you can help I greatly appreciate it.

Hello,

I have included the information that you requested in the diagrams down below. It is located right in back of the oil filter. Please, if you have any other vehicle related questions, feel free to ask.

Thanks,
Alex

Hello,

I have included a diagram of your vehicle's engine and all of the switches and sensors on it. The Oil Pressure Switch(OPS) is number 11 on the diagram. Please get back to us with how everything turns out.

Thanks,
Alex

I have a leak that is coming from above the oil filter housing. I changed the oil pressure switch, but that did not help.
I am thinking about changing the oil filter. I am not sure that would help. Just going about the least expensive
way. The leak seems to be coming from the engine above the filter. Could this be valve cover gaskets.
My engine is v6 3.6l

Make sure it is not leaking from there. It is common when installing that you can break the plastic top on installation/

I need to replace my oil pressure sensor and I can't find a diagram of the location. I am pretty sure I see it but want to be sure. My car listed above is the LT model.

The sensor that I need to replace is slightly below and to the left of the oil filter. I'm being told that is the oil pressure sensor but I need confirmation.

Do you have a new sensor? If you do, remove the connector from the sensor in the picture and make sure it fits on the new sensor. That will confirm it.
