Oil Pressure Switch Change

[impulsive]

Wondering how to change the Oil pressure switch on a VZ V6, i have been told it is below the oil filter somewhere and requires a special tool. Can anyone further my knowledge.

Pics/How To would be great.. otherwise i will try and get one done!

Best to buy one & get fitted at dealer , cost around $150 to $180 all up . They are fiddly to get at & need a special tube spanner to remove/fit without damaging them .

i can only forecast holden being a rip off as they are with anything else, i would like to have a go myself at replacing it..

im guessing it really cant be too fiddly, by socket would a deep throat sparkplug socket and extension bar reach it?

is the sensor with the plug on it, where the oil filter goes in

any chance of a photo andyman? The oil filter sits to the right of the motor passengers side, up high, in line with the manifolds yeah?

visualising in the back of my head atm, its at the bottom of the canister on either directly on the front or the back, you cant really miss it, has 2 wire plug i believe and the pressure switch would be about 20-24mm

is it located in the photo below? Lol if i was a betting man i bet im wrong!

next Q is would i need to drain the oil first before removing the switch?

Not if you're fast enough with switching them.

thats it, and now youll oly get a few drips come out of it, no oil pouring as such
