What is the Oil Pressure Sensor all about?

Oil is vital for your engine – you need enough oil to lubricate and reduce friction throughout the engine. There’s no way to visually determine how much oil is being pumped through your engine, so your car’s computer relies on the oil pressure sensor to determine the flow.The oil pressure sensor is a basic electrical switch that provides information to the instrument cluster’s oil pressure gauge with the accurate real-time pressure. When the pressure is too low, not enough oil is being pumped through the engine to lubricate and cool components. When pressure drops below a threshold set by the automaker, the engine oil light on the car’s dashboard illuminates, warning you that driving could be dangerous.

Keep in mind:

  • There is no way to visually determine the operating condition of your oil pressure sensor.
  • If the sensor fails, it is impossible to determine whether there is sufficient oil flow/pressure to lubricate and protect your engine.
  • If your oil pressure sensor fails, it should be replaced immediately.

How it's done:

  • The vehicle is raised and supported on jack stands and tire is removed
  • The defective oil pressure sensor is removed
  • The new oil pressure sensor is installed
  • The engine is started and oil pressure is checked then the vehicle is taken off the jack stands
  • The vehicle is road tested for proper operation

Our recommendation:

Your car’s oil pressure sensor is an electrical component, and can be subjected to a number of issues, including wiring damage. If you suspect damage to the sensor, or have noticed your oil light come on, have it inspected and diagnosed by one of our expert mechanics.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Oil Pressure Sensor?

  • Oil pressure light is on
  • Oil pressure light turns on and off (can indicate several potential problems)
  • Depending on your make and model, you may have an oil pressure gauge that displays pressure in PSI. Note any drops below normal operating pressure.

How important is this service?

It is absolutely vital that your engine oil pressure be constantly monitored for potentially dangerous conditions. If your oil pressure sensor isn’t working properly, it cannot do its job, and must be replaced. If your oil pressure light comes on, call one of our expert mechanics immediately (driving with the light on can potentially cause damage).

Ford Thunderbird V8-4.6L - Brake Pads Replacement (Front) - Las Vegas, Nevada
I thought I only needed brake pads so booked that service. He arrived and saw that I needed the rotors replaced badly. He ran to get the part right away, came back and fixed it all. Only charged me the difference for the additional part. He was very professional and considerate. Would definitely recommend this service to everyone I know.

Ford Thunderbird V8-5.8L - Wipers are not working - Azusa, California
I have a fully restored '60 Thunderbird and the only issue with it is that the windshield wipers are not working. The system is vacuum and not electric. I asked my regular mechanic to see what he could do and he had no clue. Can't really blame him because I wouldn't want to tackle that project either. I contacted you folks and you sent me "David". He is an absolute prize. Not only did he have full and complete knowledge of how these wipers work, but he was not intimidated to handle the project. In so many words he in essence told me, "I can handle anything". After diving in, he found the control switch was bad as well as a diaphragm leak in the wiper motor itself. It seemed to me that the best thing to do would be to convert to electric wipers. He agreed and we set up another appointment for him to return when the parts arrived. Honestly, I was a bit nervous about who might be showing up. I envisioned a chap who might crawl under the dash cursing and complaining and throwing tools. Not so with David. The smile never left his face and he explained what was going on with every step. Mechanic or not, David is one of the most personable individuals I have ever met.
