This is an oil pressure sensor that monitors the engine's lubricating oil pressure and transmits this data to the control unit or gauge. It is engineered to provide accurate readings under varying engine temperatures and pressures, ensuring the operator is alerted to potential lubrication issues, unlike a faulty sensor that may give false readings or no reading at all. Operators might observe an inaccurate oil pressure reading on the dashboard gauge, a persistent oil pressure warning light, or the engine shutting down due to a perceived low-pressure condition.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

Inspect mating surfaces for wear before fitting. Use torque specs from service manual. Replace gaskets and seals as a set — reusing compressed gaskets causes oil leaks. Clean all oil passages with compressed air.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
A failing oil pressure sensor may initially cause erratic or incorrect readings on the oil pressure gauge, or trigger a false warning light. If the sensor fails completely, the gauge will likely show zero pressure, or the warning light will remain illuminated, potentially leading to the engine's automatic shutdown. Continued operation without accurate oil pressure monitoring risks severe engine damage due to undetected lubrication failures.
Ensure the sensor port on the engine block is clean and free of debris before threading in the new sensor. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the sensor or the engine block threads.
When replacing the oil pressure sensor, it is advisable to inspect the engine oil filter and check the engine oil level and condition.
