Look on the left side of the engine right behind the alternator. There will be two sensors mounted one above the other coming at an angle out of the block. The upper one is the oil pressure sensor and the lower one is the crankcase pressure sensor. You just need nice young thin arms to do the job easily. And yes, it usually is the sensor that is the problem. Have had them read low and high.

Thanks, i replaced and the problem disappeared. You was right: no easy access.

Thanks, you was right, very difficult to reach and replace this sensor. Now the oil pressure back to normal.

I am catching the devil trying to get to this sensor. I am not the smallest person so I figured it would be quite difficult for me to get to. I attempted to change it out last week but I ran out of time and had to go pick up a load so I intend on trying it again. Originally I removed the belt tensioner, alternator, and the hose for the power steering, I could not see any other way to get to it. Any tips/tricks to getting this done, please let me know........
Thanks in advance........
