Thank you for making this video! I followed your instructions step by step and was able to replace my sensor in less than 2 hours and now have an accurate oil pressure reading. You saved me hundreds of dollars doing myself and several hours compared to removing the entire intake plenum. It wasn't easy because there is so little room to work back there but with perseverance, I got it done. Thanks again!
Glad to help thank you!
Hey, I am another satisfied customer in your debt. It was a bitch, but it would’ve been a nightmare without this video. Took me about 90 minutes only because the deep socket I used to take the sensor out worked fine but not to snug in the new one, I needed a six sided deep socket which I didn’t have. I think this was mentioned in the video. We improvised and I got it in and it all worked. Once again, your video is awesome. Thank you for the time you took and creating it and all the people that you’ve helped.
Glad you figured it out! Thank you for watching and for the support!
Getting the plug off sensor at the beginning was the toughest part. Thanks for the good video and showing the mass air flow sensor connection so I knew what I had to blindly unlatch. Pushing in the tab to release it was key.
A great video! First, you're one of the very few who actually describe and explain how to remove the plug from the sensor. I was lucky enough to not have to remove any vacuum lines. At the location of the short extension and after the swivel, I used a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter and loosened the sensor initially with my breaker bar. Once loosened, I used a regular ratchet to complete removal. To remove the filter, I found a long (3") lug screw the diameter of the filter and gently screwed it in 1/4 turn to bite into and then remove the filter. 90 minutes total, maybe less than 45 if had to do again.
This is one of the better car repair videos I have seen. Including all the little details that would confound the first timer, like how those plugs work. Keep up the good work.
Thank you. I appreciate it
So in my effort to find someone to repair this thing i was quoted at over 550. This repair litterally takes 5 minutes to do. Thanks Eric, very based and informative.
Yup! I paid $550 to get mine replaced. Mechanic supposedly bought a dealer sensor and screen for $170 and $380 labor and diagnosis even though i told him what it was. I'm beyond pissed off
I have a 2012 Colorado 5.3L V8 (bit of a unicorn) & searched high & low just to find out the location of my Oil Pressure Switch. Even Storer & Haynes was of no help. Thank you so much! I was on the brink of giving up & taking it to a shop. From now on I'll remember that 5.3L Tahoes have a lot in common with mine.
Nicely done! Clear instructions, and great camera work. Far enough away for the overview, but close enough for detail. Highly underrated quality for instructional videos.
Thank you. I watched another video and they removed the intake manifold and I was so relieved to see how you did it. It only took me 30 minutes and it went EXACTLY as you showed. The only glitch was when I started the truck, the oil pressure still read zero, but 15 seconds later it read correctly. Great job, saved me hundreds $$$.
Awesome! Glad that you got it fixed 👍
I’m going to try this
ONE of the BEST Videos on replacing the OIL SENSOR.
Thank you!
Definitely could not have done this without your video. Thank you. I went one step further and bought a little WiFi camera to watch what I was doing back there on an iPad. Thanks again.
Awesome thanks for watching!
Really appreciate this video. Really struggled until your tip about the vacuum lines. After that, getting the right combination of wobble sockets and extensions was the tough part for me.
YOU DID EXCELLENT SHOWING HOW TO UNLOCK AND REMOVE CONNECTION BY USING THE SWITCH WE COULD ACTUALLY SEE WELL. 😊
Thanks for this video. I’m 1000 miles from home and my sensor has gone bad. Not looking forward to this sensor replacement,but at least I know what I am going to do to replace it. The description of the connector removal is great help.
Yeah the placement is horrible but it can get done thank you so much for watching!
Thanks for making this video. It was clear and concise. Showing how to remove the clips was a huge help, especially since it was very hard to see some of them. I followed the video to a tee and finished in about an hour and a half with no real issues except I lost the white clip off the electrical connector. It flew off while I was trying to pull it up. I stole the one from the mass airflow sensor (thanks for showing that they are the same) so I could put everything back together. Just need to get a replacement clip for the mass airflow sensor now and I'll be done. Thanks again.
Awesome! Glad it worked out for you!
Thanks for watching Todays Video! You do not want to miss the next one 🤙🏼
Thank you so much for making this video & showing step-by-step i was able to do it myself & was able to save 500 bucks git it done less then 3 hours thank you thank you
Bro this video was exactly correct i used the video to repair my 2012 Tahoe. I did break both lines removing them but that’s because they were dry rotted. I couldn’t use your links because i was under a time crunch but this video is great and advice is 100% correct.
Best video I’ve seen on this repair. Very comprehensive and well illustrated.
Great Video… just fixed my Tahoe in about 2 hours with a few breaks to stretch lol it’s super cramped in there. Oh and I dropped the old sensor once I unscrewed it so had to wiggle my hand back there till it fell to the ground. The filter was super easy. So happy I have my truck back 💖
Glad you got it fixed awesome work!
موديل 2015 وفوق مكانه سهل جدآ 😂😂
Super helpful Eric. I was able to put in a new oil pressure sensor and filter following your video. Saved me tons of money. Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Thanks man! This is exactly how mine was in our 08 suburban. Really a pain, but certainly cheaper than taking it to a shop
i pulled up a few of these videos and yours was by far the best. good job and thanks.
Thank you!
Hey thanks for the video, followed your steps on what to use and need. It was hard not going to lie, started raining and slowed up my progress. Got it done and hope I never have to do that again.
Thank you for your video. But this is a pain in the butt to do especially on the 6.0 L vortec. So tight back there You can't even get your hand back there let alone see and you have to do it all by fuel. Not to mention you have to lay on the engine and bear hug it while keeping your feet up in the air behind you lol I'm 6 ft 190 lb. No easy task
I know, right? After breaking the old sensor while trying to get it off and then breaking the new one trying to install it, I gave up and (after ordering another replacement sensor) decided to just remove the intake manifold and do it properly.
Some bullshyt @ 6'4 as well...🤬
موديل 2015 وفوق مكانه سهل جدآ 😂👍
All the extra quick little details you added were very helpful. Great job
Thank you!
Thanks, buddy. This helped us a lot too. 2008 Yukon Denali reading pressure once again. Man, that area is tight!!!
Thanks this video was one of the best I came across as for as put in the oil sensor. I was so glad I didn't have to take off the whole intake. Thanks again very informative.
Very helpful. Small hands are key.. My wife’s hands.
My hands are still sore (mind you in multiple locations) from yesterday 😅
Thanks Eric. Didn't swear but once! Took about 40 minutes. No cuts but maybe a little bruising later. Luckily I don't have large hands.
😂😂😂😂
Great video man. Really showed up everyone else who did a video on this.
This is the best and most detailed video I have watched about the removal of this part. Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you. Removed both vac lines- done in 30 minutes. Great instructions.
Thank you!
Your video helped my neighbor and I change one on my 13 Tahoe. Thanks 💪🏽🫡
Glad to help out thank you!
Thanks!!! Just did mine on a 2014 Suburban and although a pain in the a//, your instructions helped disconnecting the hoses!
Glad you got it done thanks for watching
Best camera ever. Another Great Video. i should start filming my work, i just installed new cylinder heads on a 2005 GMC Duramax Diesel they were leaking pressure into cooling system, now this truck was on a 6'' lift very high up there super hard to deal with on ladders to reach everything...
Most thorough video on this type of replacement I have seen yet. The removal of the lines, and the detail for the clips being removed (especially the sensor clip). Most videos lack the clips, and the way they are secured/removed. The gloves had me worried, but you know what you are doing. Save the latex next time..lol....Cheers
best video i have ever seen. So thorough and clear.
Thank you!
I may be having this issue. Oil Pressure reads around 20, sometimes below. "Engine Power Reduction" flashes on the dash as well as messages regarding the Stabilitrack and Traction Control. The engine runs really rough when this happens. I have to pull over, cut it off and restart it for it to "reset." Sometime it takes a few turns of the key before it gets right. This code is present on diagnostic. And as a side note, the transmission was just rebuilt by a professional. Needless to say money is tight. 😩 Great instructional video btw!
Has to be one of the best videos on this that I've watched. Clearly explained how the the little clips worked with the connectors and lines. Thanks!
Thank you I appreciate it!
Thank a lot helpful advice
شكرا جزيلا لك
One of the best videos on this topic! Thank you man
You Rock!!!
Thank you!
Thanks for the video! Clear explanation...was able to do mine in about 45 min.
Awesome!
Thumbs up for the diagram, detailed description box and clear angels of what to look for plus the tools to use.
Thank you!
It is definitely DIY-able. Followed the instructions. The only issue was the switch was positioned so that the wiring cap lock was facing the engine, meaning fingers couldn’t get in to move the white tabs up and press the clip to remove. Also use extra caution when tighening the new sensor in place, my tool came loose and bended the plastic part little bit. Again, thanks for the video. Helped me tons.
Glad your got it done, and thanks for watching!
@ejiguuree Same predicament right now. How did you get the switch off?
@@kinderfest2010haha right? Same thing here. Can't get that damn thing off. How did you do it?
@@kinderfest2010ahhhh shit! Update. Whatever the black plastic shield is... There's a space under it that lines up with the clip. I was able to put a coat hanger in there to depress the clip then a long flathead to pop off the harness
Just found your video. Very detailed and DIY. I will be doing this on mine very soon. Thx guy!
Thank you for watching!
I was dreading having to replace the oil pressure sensor. Watched your video, had it done and back together in less than an hour. I would have finished faster, but it's tough laughing across the radiator when you're an old fat man like me. Thanks for all the tips.
Ordered the socket today using your link. Thanks for the walk-through on this repair!
Really appreciate you making this video!
Glad to help out!
Fantastic tutorial.
I had to clear my code before the gauge would work again.
Awesome, thank you for watching!
Very well done video, ready to tackle this on my new Suburban.
Thank you!
Good video. Man somebody must drive on a lot of gravel roads.
Sheesh where u been riden in that Truck the Sahara Desert But Great Video Bro u the Man 💪🏽💪🏽💯
Thanks man! I just did mine and let me tell you...I'm tall so I couldn't get inside but I managed to get it done..
Glad you got it done!
You can use a 27mm or a 1 ¹/¹⁶ deep socket if you don't have the special oil pressure switch
Are you sure because I really don't wanna buy that special socket just for that
That only works on the short oil pressure switches it won't work on the longer ones. Since I'm a mechanic, getting the tool was an investment
@@dark_sky_guyits $12 buy that shit n move on
Cy
@@ERICSDIYGARAGEthanks I didn't think that was right.... Would you have any idea why my oil pressure keeps getting higher... ? The last three or four times I changed oil I kept gaining about five more pounds... Idling width 40 to 45 lb.. under light acceleration going up to 60. 65. lb. ? Kind of getting scared of blow a seal... ???
Thank you for making this video and clearly explaining the process and tools needed to perform the task!
Very helpful! Take care!
Thank you for watching appreciate it!
I got the same trouble. I’ll gonna try do it by myself. Thanks
Thank you so much
Helpful and easy to understand
God bless you
Thank you for watching!
Thank you great Instructions just did my 2008 Tahoe
Thank you! Glad you got yours fixed
excellent job with showing us how the clips undo. great pix to.
Thanks glad to help
Thanks for the video! Best one I came across by far!
Thank you glad to help
Great video, thanks for making this.
Great video! Took me a while, but you were very detailed!
I was previously reading zero engine oil pressure, replaced the sensor, began reading oil pressure. Reset the code and the engine light turned off. About a day later, the engine light came on again and it says engine oil pressure “a” range. Any ideas? I removed the screen, and installed new screen so I’m not sure what it would be.
Thank you. I'm glad you got it done!
Dude! Awesome video, thanks for making this. I took your suggestion and removed the two vacuum lines and it did make things slightly easier.
Really glad I watched this first. I bought the socket and used a u-joint and the whole thing went really smoothly.
I shit my pants a little when I first turned on the truck and saw ZERO psi of oil pressure... It took about 5 seconds to build up pressure and now it's 50psi at idle when cold which seems strong to me.
Legit!! Great video. Thanks for making it
Thank you!
Thank you for this video!
Thanks for the video, alot more clarification than other videos. Can you do a video on the stability traction light? Mine came on my 08 suburban and can't figure it out.
One of those vacuum lines is the brake booster, correct? Did you have to bleed your brakes to get brakes back? Excellent video, btw. Watched several and yours has been the most helpful for sure! Those shots of the connector were 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
The line is not a Hydraulic line so it's not necessary to bleed the brakes. Thank you glad to help out
Thank you brother very helpful
Thanks 🙏🏻 for the info. Got it done ✔️. Tahoe back up and running
Great video, thanks.
I'm glad it helped out!
Thank you for the video . Could you tell us what the oil pressure should be when the engine is idling. And then when you're cruising on the highway. Is 20 psi idling good? Thank you for the video
Very helpful thanks
Thank you!
Eric! I changing my sensor now. I can't find a filter!!! 04 Z66 5.3 vin 4g153702 . I can feel the threads inside the hole.
Probably doesn't have one
That wasn’t entertaining it was educational good job great help
Thank you!
Well I was trying the push that stupid plastic sound cover back away from the engine and go from the front, now I’ll go try her from the back and see how that goes . What a pain!!!
Thank you! life saver
Thank you
Tks bro, very good video
Thank you!
So this happened before to mine and I replaced it over a year ago. Now the code came up. But I have pressure ant feedback. The first time it was noticeable I couldn't drive it
Quick question. For the blue tabs, do you squeeze the top (wire side) or the bottom (sensor side) of the tabs? I made sure the sliding clip was up, I can move it up and down, but I cannot for anything get the plug off.
I have a 08 chevy tahoe I jst recently changed an now after a couple of months the pressure went up to 80 an is not workin would it be better to change the oil sensor to will im already changing the oil pump
I’m having a hard time getting that deep socket over the switch. Feels like the cover doesn’t let me put it on correctly. Any advice? Is there any chance to get rid of that cover?
thank you!
Thanks!
Beat, explain video with getting to the point and explaining at the same time
Where exactly does the screen go? On the actual sensor or inside where u remove the sensor?
That glove hanging on for dear life
😄
Thanks
There's a screen under the Sensor which could cause the sensor not operate property and show low presure like it did with me after replacingit with a new one
Yes & when i pulled the screen out it was all messed up up
@@ladyblessed6538 it could give you false oil oil pressure reading
thanks!!!
workin on an 07 tahoe 5.3l and I got the sensor out and new one in...I dont know how the heck you get the screen out that was hard jus to get to the sensor!
Umm.. actually u don't have to remove any hoses...u can simply push the plastic cover towards the firewall..there is enough space going through the hose and the clamp to push and give u a clear opening to see the entire part and electric clip to remove and use the tools to remove it....
I did mention that you do not have to remove the hoses but it makes it easier so you won't have to fight with them
It didn't take much to remove and reinstall them. Now that I am familiar with this process I would likely work around them. Initially I could not see the sensor due to the lines being in the way.
2007 Tahoe ls 5.3 Changed oil pressure switch and pressure still at 15-20 psi changed oil and oil filter and psi 35-40 but check engine light still on ? Do I clear the code ? And can I go smog right afterwards?
Clear the code and you have to drive it for about 60 miles before the ecu completes the emmisons testing that they do
What exactly is the vacuum line?
Mine was broken and I’m trying to figure out what to call it to get a replacement.
Is it the same issue if my pressure gauge is stuck on 80 constantly and only drops low when I accelerate hard?
What is the name of the 2nd hose you moved out the way?
is there a website where you get the blueprint of the vehicle to know where this sensor is at? I am looking for a Chevy Volt and cant seem to find the sensor myself
So I replaced mine and of course my check engine light came on. I cleared it but it keeps coming back on. P0251 code comes up on the scan tool. Any suggestions?
Injector pump fault. Check to make sure you didn't accidentally disconnect something during the replacement of the oil sensor.
How much does a repair like this cost at a shop? Let's say the whole sensor, not screen. And do they have to flush out the motor for stuff that would clog it again. Or would a normal oil change be enough? Great video thanks !
I would say around 200 might be more depending on the shop and location. And no it's not needed to flush the engine and replacing the screen is always a must
The brand name of the sensor socket is Lisle. Pronounced “Lyle” rhymes with “pile”
