In this video, I replaced a leaking oil pressure sensor on a 2001 Ford Escape with the Duratec 3.0 V6.

Works exactly the same way with 2009-2012. Escapes. Great video. Only thing I’ll add. Is on the second gens at least mine. (2009) the alternator was in the way to be able to put a socket wrench onto the socket. But you can easily do it with a 13/16 wrench. 🤙🏻

I tried doing this on an 08 escape without removing the AC compressor as some others have had luck with. I ended up breaking the switch so I’ll have to do it again with the compressor removed. Do you know if the process is the same on a 2008? I only avoided removing the ac compressor because I thought I’d have to remove the line. Great video btw.

I’ve always moved the AC compressor out of the way on the V6 models. It doesn’t take much time at all (no need to disconnect any AC lines) and saves the frustration. And yes, pretty sure the process on the 2008 is the same.

2:45 what is that other sensor next to the oil switch with the red connector on it??
@AKJeeper2 жыл бұрын
That’s the engine block heater. It is used in colder climates to aid with starting in the wintertime.

Did you take out all your oil?

No. It’s not necessary to drain the engine oil to replace the oil pressure switch.

Have you found the torque specs?

It's a moot point because a torque wrench wouldn't fit in there. I've seen on other videos to just measure the threads of the old one and screw the new one in to the same point; just be sure it is snug and have the push tab easily accessible. Do NOT overtighten!

@@boomerguy9935 that's exactly what I did. Tightened it until it was snug.give it a half a turn and the car is fixed. Thanks for the video. If it wasn't for you idk what I would have done. I'll be subscribing. Thanks again

According to alldatadiy, the torque for the oil pressure sender is 10 ft-lb.
