Removal Procedure
- Tools Required
- J 41712 Oil Pressure Switch Socket
1. Disconnect the electrical connector at the engine oil pressure gauge sensor.
2. Hold the engine oil pressure sensor fitting with a wrench.
Important: Note the alignment of the oil pressure sensor gauge fitting prior to removal.
3. Remove the engine oil pressure gauge sensor using J 41712.
4. Remove the engine oil pressure gauge sensor fitting, if necessary.
Installation Procedure
1. Apply sealant GM P/N 12346004 or equivalent to the threads of the engine oil pressure sensor fitting.
Important: Do not lessen the oil pressure sensor fitting after the initial torque has been obtained.
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.
2. Install the engine oil pressure sensor fitting.
- Tighten the engine oil pressure sensor fitting to 15 Nm (11 inch lbs.).
Important: Do not rotate the engine oil pressure sensor fitting more than 359° after the initial torque has been obtained.
3. Rotate the engine oil pressure sensor fitting clockwise to the proper position (1), 50° from the centerline (2).
4. Install the oil pressure gauge sensor.
5. Hold the oil pressure gauge sensor fitting with a wrench to prevent from turning.
- Using J 41712 tighten the oil pressure sensor to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.).
6. Install the electrical connector.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
