In this video I will show you how I've changed out oil pressure sensors on GM trucks and SUV's. hope y'all enjoy. Sorry that this not showing how to verify the sensor is bad. I just wanted to make a video to show how easy and quick it is to replace this sensor.

From all DIY videos, this is the first one that goes straight to the point, nice tricks and no BS involved, like no personal ideas or life experiences, no useless elevator music. Thank you Sir.
I’ve watched a ton of videos on this and you’re the only ones that’s included a diagram and video of the location of the sensor. Thank you for that!!
Totally agree !!!
Not to mention the hose removal. HUGE !!!
THE VID I WATCHED B4 THIS ONE. HE REMOVED THE FUEL LINES , THROTTLE BODY , FUSES , BATTERY CABLES, ABOUT 16 HOSES , AND THE INTAKE. GOD BLESS YOU SIR . THIS VID IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST ONE OUT THERE. THX
Tweek awesome. Glad you loved the video
I' so glad I found this video before I undid the fuel lines and everything else. I found out the hard way there is NO way around getting the hose off without a 90 degree pick. After that it was still a pain but just because I'm not a great mechanic. Thanks for the great video!
This is the third time I've serviced one of these switches and yours is the first video that showed the tip on removing the brake booster hose. GREAT TIP! Including the diagrams to show components and locations was a big plus too. Especially for anyone doing this for the first time. THX 👍
Best video ever on Oil Pressure switch gm vehicles
there are at least 10 other video"s on the oil sensor replacement, and yours is the only one that shows specifically how to remove the booster vacuum hose, after spending an hour trying to work with it in place I got out my pick and released the hose as instructed, finished it up in 30 minutes after that.. Glad I went back till I found your video.
Thank you.
THANK YOU , i HAD TO REPLACE MINE TODAY ON MY 2007 SILVERADO, YOUR INFORMATION WAS RIGHT ON THE MONEY,#1 thing , get your booster hose out of the way, makes the access so much easier
Just did this job a few days ago. I found a 6" extension with a fine-tooth ratchet works w/o removing stuff. Also, a easy way to remove the screen is to use a 5/16" bolt or lag screw. of any length you like. I find a 2-3" size works for me. Just screw it in a couple turns and pull it out. Eazy peasy.
Dude you are my hero. I was having the hardest time trying to get my socket/extension onto the sensor. Then I found your video about removing the vacuum line. I was thinking it was screwed into the intake. Popping it off was easy and opened everything up. Thank you very much for the tip.
Dave H. Awesome. Glad this video helped out bud
@@OzMechanics when I search for one for my truck it shows a longer sensor, store brand and ac delco. Part # D1818A on oreillys page. I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 5.3
Great video on replacing the sensor. It was a big help on changing mine. What really helped was removing the hose from the brake booster which gave me enough clearance to gain access to it. I also bought the socket that fits this sensor. Thanks!
This was perfect… great demonstration, schematics, straight to the point. Helped me a ton. Thank you.
I switched from GMC to Toyota about 10 years ago, and I am glad I did!
Great video, a door panel clip remover works really well in pushing the hose retainer in. Which makes disconnecting the hose a breeze.
The BEST VIDEO ON THIS JOB... i just replaced mine on a 2013 XL Yukon so hard... but Dealership wants $525 labor and charges $210 an hour...The Dealership told me they want to remove the intake manifold that is just the way they do this job WOW... no parts extra money... now i did not remove the brake booster hose i did not know how ... but it is right in the way made so much harder. and that plug would not unclip. it took a lot of work to remove the plug. saw some videos on how to do it. but it was just stuck on there. i just kept on trying and it did come off so lucky for that..... but the real problem was pressure was still at ZERO so i saw a video that said just unplug the BATTERY AND WAIT A FEW MINS AND THEN OIL PRESSURE DASH GAUGE RESET IT SELF OR THE COMPUTER THEN IT STARTED WORKING GOOD yep after all that work and still no luck i did unplug battery and then it was working good... [Before i started this big job ] i did try to just unplug battery and see if was okay then and no did not help... yep you got to get Dealer only parts .... and change out that screen that is the main thing...
2013 Sierra here. Getting the plug with the clip undone was a PITA!! Finally had to remove clip to allow access to button. Removing that hose did help a ton! Watched this vid a couple times and got the job done. Thanks for posting!
I’m glad this video helped out.
This is the best video on this oil pressure sensor out there. Way to put it together and edit. Thank you very helpful.
Definitely the best video I have seen to replace this. Thank you.
Thanks for watching
Mann this was wayyyyy better than the other videos where the remove the whole engine just to get to the switch 🤦🏿♂️. Great job bro
Good job Oz!!!! Very close to same procedure for 08 5.3l, but no hose removal, just very tight!
Great video! I didn’t have a pic so I taped a bent staple to the end of a small screwdriver and fished out the screen for anybody who is realizing They don’t have one halfway through the job.
I couldn't get the screen out.
Similar thankful words from me for uploading the best video in CZcams for the subject. Many thanks. God bless you.
THANK YOU. It was actually a fairly simple job - ONCE you showed me how to do it. You saved me a lot of time and work.
Good to hear that glad everything worked out good for you
You did an excellent job of showing the oil pressure switch (in its installed position). Thanks.
Thanks for watching. Just notice some people taking out the the intake to do this job
How to blee brake on 95 camro
@@OzMechanics is it safe to drive my 2008 Chevy Tahoe with a bad oil sending unit
@@r-luvbham6608 a bit late. But it's not a good idea to drive any vehicle if you do not know if the oil pressure is good or not.
I like you approach by taking off the brake booster hose so you can get to the oil pressure switch a lot easier than the other Video s I have watched, thanks
Dammit bro i tried for 6 hours then sisd im gonna find a video that i havent seen and BAM!you popped up with your easy to do vid.. thanks
I think pulling the brake booster hose off is a good idea clears up a clean shot at the sensor, my dads truck is having a low oil pressure situation and this repair is on our list of things to do this weekend.
Nice video! You made it very simple to understand.
Just finished this job. Soooo releived it wasnt my bearings! My tips. It took me 3-4 hours. It takes forever but its not hard. My 09 eacalade did not have a screen. Theres 2 different sensors make sure you buy the correct one for your year and make. I did not remove ANY hoses or lines. Just put your extention between the hoses. The other hard issue was disconnecting the connection for me i had to slide a clip of plastic UP, then I had to push in on the button in the middle of the sliding clip and pull up. Theres different style connections so look up how to remove your exact one first. I used a step stool also. Good luck! If you get stuck leave the job and come back the next day fresh. The service guide says this job takes 0.9 hours. It took me 4 hours the first time and now Id say I can do it in about 20 mins. It was all worth it to find out I didnt need a new engine. Its scary not knowing. Now Im back to 35psi at idol and 43 on the highway. My escalade was going nuts about low pressure stop the engine immediately etc. If your gauge says constant low like 14psi thats bad if its saying 35, 75, 138, ---, 22, 70 etc thats for sure the sender or a wire. Only buy the AC delco brand sender, i would advise against the no name china knockoffs, you never want to replace this sender ever again. Also you MUST buy the sender socket, it has rounded edges and fits the connector, a regular deep socket 27mm or 1 1/16 wont be rounded and only about 50% of them will fit the connector all the way in and not too far in. Just get it its $11. Go slow, dont get mad, be patient and youll get it done. Youll need a wobble extension or a 6" extension with u-joint or swivel. May the force be with you!
By far the best video an explanation for this problem....
great video and now to change out the filter also,cleaning mine and reinserting since I already have my pressure switch module! Thanks....
you the only one that took out the filter doing it that way now i will do it your way
Thanks for the heads up. This approach worked perfectly!!
Great video, concise and to the point.
Best vid for this issue. I’ve seen a lot and this one explains it the best.
Really glad you liked this video ambioris. Thanks for watching
You da Man OzzIE . I missed with this till my shoulder fell off then I saw this removes the hose and....Voila ! Done
I guess it's quite off topic but does anybody know a good website to watch newly released movies online?
@Juan Travis I would suggest Flixzone. You can find it on google =)
@Case Grey definitely, have been using FlixZone for since april myself :)
@Case Grey thank you, signed up and it seems like a nice service :D Appreciate it !
@Juan Travis you are welcome :)
I just replaced the oil pressure sender on my 09 Chev Avalanche with 5.3L. Works great now. Old one was reading Very low, almost 0 KPA and got warning/ fast chime “Low Oil Pressure, turn engine off”. This happened after my truck was sitting for 2 months (bitter cold outside) and then battery was completely discharged (don’t think it is related, just coincidence). This video was the most helpful for me, as other ones have you remove intake manifold.
You are good, thank you very much..wont be easy for me but i going to try. I am 64 with bad back and leg, lol probably be laid up for a week after doing this leaning over to fix it. But i have always been a diy guy since i was 14...thank you very much..take care and gid bless
Great video. Way easier than other videos thank you
israel taylor thanks. Glad you really liked the video
Great video!! Very helpful!
Thanks for the video but, I was able to remove the sensor without removing the cable you removed. The picking tools helped thank you.
Awesome
Sensors are always a pain but you helped with that, thanks.
I’m glad this video help out :)
Well done man u saved my ass its 2022 almost Christmas and I dint have the money to pay sombody to do this your video was to the point great step by step tool presentation part location and diagram best video I found . I appritiate it man!!! And u did all that and did it well in under 10 Mins 6.47 to be exact well done!
Thank you for this awesome video!
Super informative. I feel confident tackling this job tomorrow. Too bad my 11 avalanche is lifted 7.5" and my back hurts like a mr fr. But hey thats Trucklife💯👍👍
Clear, concise, and to the point 👉 thanks -
You are a Wizard!!! Great video thanks!
Best video on this repair for sure!! Thanks for the help!!
Thanks for watching
Just a little tip for anyone out there that the screen is stuck and won't come out with the pick.... I was able to thread a 5/16 course thread eye bolt into the screen and apply enough pressure to pop it out. Don't thread it in too far or it will expand the screen and just add to the problem. Just get it in snug and then give it a pull while wiggling it back and forth. The truck I was working on was a 2013 with 160k. Lots of heat cycles and pretty sure it has never been done before. Thanks again Oz!!
If you ever have your engine removed for any reason it is a good idea to replace the plastic oil gallery barbell with a billet unit from sac city corvette. They have a tighter fit to prevent dirty oil from bypassing the oil filter.
Good demo!
Me and my friends just did this the long way which involved removing the entire intake manifold and it was a bitch. We replaced the sensor only to find that the low oil pressure message didn’t go away. Then we figure out that there is a mesh under that damn sensor that no one mentioned in any other video and now there is the possibility that it’s clogged and that might be blocking the readings to the sensor. So hopefully that’s all it is and not a bad oil pump. Cheers.
Was it jest the screen?
@@Fordtruckin69 Yes it ended up being just the screen. The old one was plugged solid.
Great video. It helped me a lot and now all fixed. Thanks
Awesome. Glad to hear this video helped out
Best video I’ve seen on this. Thanks
Thank you very much Doug. Thanks for watching
Nice video. I didn't disconnect anything. I used a 3 inch extension and a couple of socket adapters to bring to perfect height. NO UNIVERSAL swivel joint. A long bolt screwed in will take that screen out easy...Use same bolt to install screen.....Took me about 10-15 mins or less.
Ubmixin B good to hear
What diameter and length bolt to take the screen out ?
This saved me a lot of time and money. Thank you.
Glad the video helped out
Always great information thanks
This is the best vid by far on this repair. Kudos to you bruh. On a side note. They make a special socket for this sensor. I ordered it for like $6-7 it’s made by lisle 1-1/6. I’ll sub.....
Yup....it cost about $9.00,I think,on Amazon. It's under "Lysle Oil Sensor Socket,for 5.3L Silverado".
I'm impressed you got a camera in there, l have replaced lots of these, always by feel.
Great job. You were professional.
Moving that hose out the way made this job even more a breeze thanks for that info bro... don't know wtf was up with the old sensor but I had to force that sensor socket on it for whatever reason. Other than that it was a straight forward little job
Great info, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.
Heck you made that look pretty easy. In fact, yours looked like it was straight down unlike some others where they appear to be on a slight angle and tighter spot. I will be doing my 2011 Avalanche soon, hope it goes as easy.
Fantastic filming.
Nice tips!! Thanks
Thank you it’s the easiest way took 35 minutes great video
Glad this video helped out. Thanks for watching
Wow thank you great video
Thanks bro cool video. I thought I was going to have to pull the intake manifold and I didn't know there was a screen. You da Man !!! ✌👍🤠 Ken Boise, Idaho.
Glad this video helped out handyman68 !! Thanks for stopping by
Did mines just now great help
On my 2007 5.3L Tahoe, there is a hole in the bottom of the plastic shroud (the same shroud the brake booster hose passes through) through which you can see - but can't really access - the pressure sensor. At least it's helpful in homing the socket and in seeing the orientation of the plug when you go to clip it back in. I dropped the new sensor when trying to get it seated. I wish I'd tied a rubber band around the plastic connector with a cow hitch then wore the tag end around my wrist. It took 20 minutes and the skin on two knuckles to get it out. 5/16" bolt idea didn't work as it got no purchase on the filter. I used a pick like OZ. Worked fine. There's an armored hose - I think A/C related - that you work outside of at all times. That is, on the dashboard side of the hose not on the inside of the bend. There is a spring clip on the brake booster connector but just ignore that. There is no need to fool with the spring clip if you just work the connector back as far as it can go, then push the red thing in and tug on the hose.
Thanks for the tip bro
No problem. Thanks for watching
Great video by the way thank you
Thanks for your video fixed myself and saved a lot of money an time

Mine wasn't.
You explained how to remove both the sensor and filter. Thanks!!!
Super helpful thank you
Great video thanks
Important note,the screen wasn’t introduced until 2007 previous motors didn’t have one.
If you have an 06 it may depending on the manufacture date.
Thanks for that important info!
Spent 20 min picking at my 03 wondering where the screen was
I have a 2001 gmc 5.3l so it’s not needed?
@@jimmyramirez8844 Only the sensor, not the screen.
Been there done that but I had a few more descriptive words along the way. Good video!
Thanks!!!! Same here same here
Nice video, thanks 👍
Your video is the best I have seen. Your diagrams show exactly where the sensor is located. I don't know exactly how you got your camera into such a tight space but this is the first time I have seen the actual sensor and wiring harness connected to the block. I am definitely going to change out my sensor and screen. I do have to ask one question. Were you standing on a step stool when you removed the sensor? One guy actually sat in the engine apartment when he changed the sensor but I know there is no way I could ever do that. Thanks for making this video.
I laid a moving blanket over the radiator support,and used a step stool to get me up there.Then I knelt on the core support,and put my left arm on the plastic intake manifold.I did the work with my Right hand.
Good Video thanks
Thanks for mentioning the screen never would of changed it,,and mine was very dirty,, thanks 😊👍
you can use a bolt but threading it into the filter/screen and after threading into screen, you can then just easily pull it out...

Good camera work
What else can i check for if my pressure gauge is fluctuating from 0 to 80ps why idling or driving it
You made it look easy. I made a video of me changing one. 07 Avalanche. Jays Auto And more.
What a convenient spot for a sensor
Primo pregunta importante si compras el sensor para una misma chevy silverado pero no estas seguro que motor es, y compras en sensor equivocado pero si le queda a la troca funciona o no.
Best video ever
Having an issue. I got the oil pressure sensor socket. Fits perfectly around the replacement, but I can't seem to get the socket to seat on the existing one so I can remove it. Seems to be too tight of a squeeze (it's the right size, just seems like the sensor is too close to the engine block or something), even though this is the recommended socket in just about every video. It's a thin-walled socket. I'm tempted to try and force the sensor back a little, but worried I might break shit. What are your thoughts?
Thank you sir!
Thanks for watching
I have a 07 tahoe that says no oil pressure and to turn off engine. Going to try this looks like an easy fix thanks for the help
I have the same issue. Let me know how it goes
This is the problem. I disconnected my sensor and drove it with fresh oil change. The gauge reads 0 but engine is good, but replaced everything ( screen and sensor) and fixed. The other video I saw was easier than this , he didn't remove anything and use a bolt to remove the screen.
I surely wouldn't call it easy...but it's doable.
Is this the same for the 5.7 vortec? I bought a crate motor from JEGS and had high pressure since day 1... now 1.5 yrs later and 7k miles the gauge maxes out whenever I hit the gas... and idles at 40... as of 2 days ago the gauge randomly spins like a airplane propeller... do you think it’s still the sensor...? The installing mechanic said I have a bad cluster and to install a external oil gauge... any incite would be greatly appreciated!
