On a 1996 police caprice (with a real oil pressure gauge), I see the oil level low warning light. I suspect the sensor and would like to replace it.
When I drain the oil, do I then unscrew the giant nut that goes into the oil pan above the drain plug to swap out the oil level sensor, or can I just unclip the wire connector and unscrew and replace the sensor without worrying about the big bolt-shaped thing that holds it in place?
What tools do I need for this?
Also, on a car with an oil pressure sensor, is the level sensor redundant, and is there a simple way to disable it if so (other than removing the warning light).
Many thanks.
