    Oil temperature switch replacement

    Hi folks

    Just want to share with you oil pressure switch replacement ... according to DIS my looks like failed ... job took 20-30 min ... nice
    The part costs $12 from dealer, location is on the base of oil filter

    1. Remove entire filter housing
    ( this will give you better access ... trust me this need to be done and this takes 5-10 min )
    2. Unfasten oil filter cover ( this will allow engine oil in oil filter flow back into oil sump so you will have less mess around this sensor )
    3. Replace oil temperature switch
    4. Tightening torque ( as far as you can feel it ) - 27 Nm
    5. Put all this back
    6. Start your engine and check your oil pressure light

    some photos :
