Anyone know how much a new oil press sensor is? I broke the little screw off in the sensor by over torquing it.

Just remove it and put on some teflon tape on the threads. That will fix it. Well it fixed mine.

They cost less than 20 new from the dealer.

Get the pretty blue ones instead. I've had three incorrect/insufficient filters installed by different shops.

Safest option is the OEM one.

OEM has better flow as well. Read the oil journals
