How to replace oil pressure sensor on Chevrolet Silverado 5.3L V8 Engine

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

*** UPDATE to the video *** Under the sensor is a small screen. I had it but was told by a few people it wouldn't be necessary to replace it so I didn't. A few hours after installing the sensor and uploading this video I took the truck for a ride and the warning came back on. I brought it home, took the sensor back out, fished out the screen and replaced it. I drove the vehicle again and all seems to be well... My suggestion is to also replace the screen.

[@briang896]

Dave B sells Chevy how much harder was fishing out that screen?

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

Pretty easy. I didn't have any kind of pick tool to use so I took a metal hanger, cut it to about 6 inches and bent a hook on the end of it.

Great video. Very informative and helpful on how to do this job. My tool list that I found that worked great 27mm or 1 1/16 deep well 1/2 inch drive socket 1/2 inch swivel 1/2 to 3/8 adapter 3/8 drive 6 inch extension 3/8 ratchet Make sure to replace the screen filter. To get the screen filter out just use a normal pencil and stick the eraser side gently down the sensor opening and lightly with a little twist into the opening of the screen and pull it out. Works great When putting the sensor back in you can just use the socket and a 1/2 stubby ratchet to get it pretty close to tight , then use the rest of the adapters and extensions to tighten it the rest of the way

Thanks for adding the list of tools 👍

2012 Yukon with the 5.3L. Low oil pressure warning even though engine was full of oil. Oil and filter only 1000 miles/ 2 months old or so. Went to all the trouble to change sensor and screen, absolutely NO change in symptoms, same problem still present after driving on highway. Did some reading and some folks resolved with an oil and filter change. Changed oil and filter and problem was gone. Not sure if defective oil filter, some sort of clog in the system, or what, but wish I would have tried the oil and filter change to start!

Thank you for this video. Looks like I had a little less room on a 2011 Sierra than you did, but got my fat wrist in there and got it replaced. One tip might help others: Fill the empty space along side the motor with blankets or pillows to keep from crushing anything while laid across the top of the motor. Most of my weight was on the alternator, which is solid. I coulda taken a nap up there!

[@ericbrown7009]

This is the best video I’ve watched on how to do this. There’s at least 5 I watched that tell you to take off the brake booster line, the Pcv line, and the fuel line. I didn’t have to take off any of this and I was done in a about an hour. I used a 27mm socket with a 1/2 to 3/8s adapter, swivel joint, 6” extension and a 3/8s straight non-swivel socket wrench.The hardest part for me was removing the clip, but i had it off in 5-10 minutes. Great video!

[@ericbrown7009]

Oh, and the screen was definitely my problem. The bottom half was completely clogged. Use a small pick to simply pull it out, then drop the new one in. The round rim like part goes up in case you drop it pulling the old out and can’t see how it goes

[@michaelweaver1211]

Someone suggested to me to find a bolt that will thread into the new screen that goes under the sensor. After taking the old sensor out, thread the bolt into the old screen and pull it out. I've also heard of people using a grabber to get the old screen out. I'm about to tackle mine today. Wish me luck. Thanks for the video.

Well done man. I'm in North Alabama with an oil pressure problem. I am optimistic replacing the sensor solves it. I appreciate you taking the time to make this video.

[@mattiba3422]

I had the same issue with mine! I think it all depends on which way the connector ends up facing once the sensor is in tightly. I ended up using a long flat blade screwdriver through a "window" opening that I could see to finally get my connector unattached. Once that chore was completed, the rest of it seemed pretty easy! Good luck!

[@swampk9]

​@@mattiba3422absolutely. I couldn't figure out how others were easily popping the tab and squeezing the connector until I realized my connector was 180⁰ from others. If the sensor stops in the right spot, it's easy to pop off, but if it stops in the wrong spot you going to have a task on your hands.

[@hoborosser1785]

On the connector there is a white lock you need to lift it with a pick are long thin screwdriver till it CLICKs and stays up in place. Then under it you can push in with a screwdriver to release the retaining clip. When released the connector slides off easy. The hose in the way is the brake booster vacuum hose to released it from the intake push in on the red retainer. To get the screen out use a 2" X 5/16" lag screw run it in with your fingers LIGHTLY TILL IT STOPS lift the screen out. Install the new screen push it in with your fingers then install the sensor. If you are brave you can cut some of that plastic out of your way be carful. All in said and done the intake is easy to remove, the intake seals and lower injector seals are a known leaker. I would never put those injectors back with the old seals. If you use the old lower seals injector to intake you are asking for a big air leak. I can not remember if a LS with AFM/DOD has the knock sensors under the intake. Those two knock sensors under the intake on earlier LS are a pattern issue go get them while you have the intake off always replace the knock sensor harness. Lastly make sure you do not get the knock sensor harness caught between the intake seals to head. After a sensor replacement Its not uncommon for the OP gauge to take a bit to show pressure. IF no pressure cut it off walk away from it on the third start it usually wakes up (bleeds the air out) That's my story and I am sticking to it.

[@kaszellgamez4831]

Was just seeing another video to replace same sensor, needed to take the whole intake manifold out to reach it, find your video lot more helpful, thanks brother!!!

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

Awesome!! It really wasn't that bad a job once you squeeze your hand back there.

[@fishmb12]

The filter below the sensor seems to gunk up and cause problems. To get it out I’d recommend using a “curved blackhead tool” (the one that kind of looks like a hook). Sounds weird but will save you a lot of time. Great video btw

[@fishbizzzz]

Isn't it called a "Crows Foot"?

[@cenewton3221]

First one of these I've seen that you can actually see it pretty well. I think when I do mine I'm going to use my camera also to help me see better, although it's definitely a feel kind of operation. I'm here in January 2024, 3 years after this was made and after he made the update in the pinned comment. While watching it I was wondering why he didn't change the screen/filter element underneath the switch, his update explains that he did go back and do so. Everything I've seen so far indicates you definitely should replace the screen as it could be clogging up at times, and a new one comes with the switch anyway so while you're there, swap it out too for sure.

[@jessleft65]

It’s a technical service bulletin from the manufacturer of the vehicles stating you should leave the screen out. I’d trust it. Sometimes they make mistakes when they build things and sometimes they try to correct those mistakes by letting everyone know what experience has taught them. The screen caused most of the issues that are being experienced because it’s plugging up so now they say leave it out. Manufacturers built engines for generations and they put oil sending units in them without screens and rarely had a problem. And that all started in the days way before fuel injection when engines ran a lot dirtier.

[@Patriot-bn9om]

I did this oil pressure sensor job in my 2006 Silverado 2500HD with a 6.0L V8 after I noticed the oil pressure gauge was nearly maxed out at 80 PSI even with the engine not running. This job was extremely difficult. I couldn’t see any of the area behind the engine. I had to use my phone camera to survey the area then do everything by touch and feel. I barely had space to squeeze my hand behind the engine block to reach the sensor. After I disconnected the cable from the sensor, I turned the key without starting engine and the gauge was at zero. So, I knew this was certainly a bad sensor. I had to remove the 13mm bolt next to the sensor in order to get a 27mm 8-point socket on it; this didn’t work at all. I tried a 27mm 6-point socket, which was better but wasn’t fully seated and I feared I might break the bad sensor if I forced it. So, I sprayed some penetrating oil on the sensor threads overnight while I obtained the actual 1 1/16” socket made for the sensor and it worked perfectly. Of course, GM engineers that planned the location for the sensor left me bloody and bruised after working back there and my knees on top of the engine. But, in the end, success. I refuse to let inanimate objects defeat me. And, I think I save hundreds of dollars if I had to pay a mechanic to remove the entire intake for much easier access. Doing this job on the on trucks with smaller engines is probably much easier.

[@jordangrose698]

I have the same Silverado and have had to replace that sensor 3 times. The first time took me all day because I did not see any videos to help. Anyway I hope your new sensor lasts longer than mine have

[@Etricks93]

I found it easier to use a swivel extension instead of the wobble while still using the 6 inch extension. Took care of the problem of not having room to turn the ratchet! 👍

[@Marky-hu1rg]

YOU CAN DO IT.. 2003 Chevy 5.3 LM7 it did not have the screen. I’m 70 years old and YES, you can replace the oil pressure sending unit WITHOUT taking the intake manifold off. I have the scratched hands to prove it . Just take the engine cover off. Used the following tools….. Special oil pressure sending unit socket $6.00 at NAPA. 3/8” X 6” wobble extension. 3” extension. 3/8” universal adapter. Standard 3/8 drive socket. I found the easiest way to access the sensor was to climb on top of the engine from the front . If you are left handed, good luck…. The hardest part I had was trying to get the new sensor started without cross threading it…

I’ve replaced a dozen of those sensors and I realized it’s never the sensor that goes bad it’s the screen. Believe it or not I put a new sensor back in without a screen and I never have issues with it again vs actually putting a new screen in with the sensor

[@ethenelkins1249]

Did any of the trucks you’ve dealt with leak from that area? I’ve got an 07 model crew cab that has an oil leak coming from the top of the motor. Not the valve covers and I checked the peek whole in the bottom of tranny. Everything was dry. My only guess is that sensor

[@scottrobinson2286]

Dozen sensors on same truck?

[@patrickwest387]

How did you get from zero play to being able to turn 1/4 turn? What did you remove?

[@devoryddennis2111]

Good question

[@RaymondMares]

Great video…I was thinking about taking it in but now I might do it. Thanks for sharing!

[@anthonybyus417]

How was the truck acting with the bad sensor?

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

Truck was running perfect. The guage was just going crazy

[@abo3mmar292]

How about the filter that comes with new sensor?

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

Definitely change the filter

[@abo3mmar292]

@DaveBsellsChevy after doing some searching it says old models needs filter .because I didn't find one on mine

[@trevorsporer8292]

What kind of socket/extender are you using?

[@nickschneiderwent911]

Did you change the filter also that come with sensor?

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

Yes, be sure to change the screen. I didn't at first but ended up doing it just after I filmed

My oil pressure sensor is stock on 80 in my 2007 Silverado. As I am driving on the road, suddenly it slows down and the engine light turns on and stays driving more slowly for a while. Could this be another sign that I should change it? I will change it tomorrow but I wanted to know if it could be something else to be changed. I have 176K miles. Thank you.

[@ItsCueven]

my oil pressure stuck on 80 as well with check engine light about to replace the sensor, did you ever get it fixed?

[@1945temo]

@@ItsCueven Yes, I did replace it and the pressure returned back to normal.

[@thomassolutions7888]

Hi Dave ,Thanks soooooo much great video, your the BEST my Brother from another Mother

[@DaveBsellsChevy]

You are very welcome

[@chadhammond8546]

Do you have a part number for the sensor?

[@mauriciobatista3561]

What was the pickup doing exactly to determine it was the sensor? Mine will read pressure on cold start up then go to zero and never gain it back and tells me to stop engine.

[@ashleygreen127]

Curious what truck you have. We are having that issue. 2012 silverado. Seems to be a common problem from my research

[@dodgers411]

Mine started doing that also what did u guys do to fix ??
