P0196 error code

[Johnny_61]

Hi
My 2006 VZ commodore wagon has shown a P0196 error code indicating a problem with the “engine oil temperature sensor “
Does anyone know where exactly on the engine can I find this sensor??
I am assuming this a different sensor to the “oil pressure switch “
Cheers

Thanks mate
Do you know can it be replaced without draining engine oil?

At a guess, I would say jack up the LHS of the car, and change the sensor very fast.
