If you are referring to the oil pressure sensor, that sensor is screwed into the engine block. On a transverse mounted engine, the sensor is visible as you look from the front of the engine compartment. If you are referring to the oil pressure level sensor, if your vehicle is equipped with a level sensor it is installed in the bottom of the oil pan. If you need service, or diagnostic testing, of either of these sensors, please request an electrical diagnostic - oil pressure/level sensors and the responding certified mechanic will get the problem diagnosed and repaired for you. Please let us know if you have further concerns or questions as we are always here to help you.
