How to Remove Oil Pressure Sensor Filter Screen 5.3L 6.2L GM GMC Chevy Tahoe Yukon Denali Suburban

[@michaelorosco1436]

Excellent recommendation, sir. I was having a difficult and frustrating time TRYING to remove the sensor filter. I went to my wood shop, grabbed a 4"x1/4" 14mm lag screw and TA DA! Out came the filter. THIS WILL NOW STAY IN MY TOOL CHEST! Thank you sir!

[@autorepairchamps]

Perfect !

[@damstr1105]

This worked for me on my LS4. I used a 6" 5/8". Worked great!

[@locktight777]

I think you mean 3/8

[@craigsmith5791]

Brilliant and simple - perfect! Thank you.

SANITY SAVER! I use hooks, picks, and a bent hanger and couldn't get the screen out. Got a 3/8 lag bolt and 10 seconds later my sanity was restored!

[@georgerenner2513]

I'm going to try that! I took off my switch and I couldn't see or get the screen out! Quite frankly, I bought the denali used so I wonder if it even has a screen, but I'm going to try this! Thanks!

[@e.s.l5861]

Great thinking! Incidentally, That same idea works great on the fuel injector screen filters as well. Smaller wood screw though hahaha

[@AEDominguez4444]

That you for sharing this brother, I used the same bolt and your technique worked😁👍🏽👍🏽

[@autorepairchamps]

Glad it helped

[@ryanborax7851]

Thank you so much. Worked like an absolute dream!

[@autorepairchamps]

:) Anytime , Glad to help

[@1upads]

Thanks for the tip! Looks like a 1/2" lag to me.. the way to measure that is up on the un threaded portion

[@autorepairchamps]

👍🏼

Awesome idea--thanks man

Great Video, I found this video for my hubby who put in a new sensor but had a hard time getting the screen out. So he left the old screen in, the next day the pressure gauge fell to Cold after driving for a half hour so he figured it’s because of the old screen. So tomorrow he is going to replace the screen using your method. Will there be any problem because of the delayment in putting in the screen AFTER putting in a new sensor?

[@autorepairchamps]

No, should be just fine to get the screen replaced. It is important to replace the screen as sometimes it can get clogged up. Also, if you still have low oil pressure after replacing the sensor . your gonna want to look at the oil pump next .

[@CarlosD360]

What do u mean fell to cold? The oil pressure gauge is 0-80

[@Ms88keys1]

@@CarlosD360 you are correct, My hubby just explained to me that I was looking at the wrong gauge.

[@fostermervin1]

What if my truck didn't have a filter?

[@geraldross9430]

Worked perfectly! Thank you!

[@autorepairchamps]

You are welcome !

[@omargalvan5874]

So helpful make another video to tell them how to put the filter back in

[@patrickphillips7438]

What years did they put screens in?

[@hajrudinkavazovic2231]

Good question buddy i won't to no 2

[@crisbear]

2006 is what I was told, I have a 2003 5.3L Chevy Tahoe and there is no screen

[@fostermervin1]

Thank you I have an 04 and I didn't have a screen in it when I changed mind earlier tonight.

[@lmunozgalvan70]

Thanks buddy! This was very helpful

You are welcome my friend

[@MegaHowtoMan]

Does it really need the screen? Earlier engines didn't have it.

[@autorepairchamps]

Yes it does, many times these screens have dirt and debris stuck in it

[@carcasscruncher9354]

I have a 2015 chevy express 2500. no oil pressure. changed this out but it didn't seem to have a screen, there was a brass colored part where the screen would be. is that normal? no screen or what?

[@armandoanaya3140]

Same problem here, did you find a solition?

[@carcasscruncher9354]

@@armandoanaya3140 yeah, I changed the oil pressure sender sensor out. Was probably gummed up with old oil. Just change my oil out before the sensor gets that signal. Usually no less than 10% oil life left. I try to change it out now around 15%. Sometimes add a little fresh oil since Chevy is known for burning it. Havent had a problem since. You might get by just changing oil out. But if you still have light on change that oil pressure sender switch nonsense. Edit note: if you just change the oil to an A.P.I. synthetic. The light might go away. Did this with a durango about 3 times and no problem. That oil pressure sender switch is stupid. To get to it, it isnt like the older vand you can just pop the dog house off. You actually have to tear the entire dash apart. My suggestion is just change the oil and drive, and that light should turn off.

[@marx769]

Thanks for the video! I'm doing this right now and having a hell of a time with getting this old screen out..... about ready to just put the new sensor in and be done.... 😤

[@pherdog82]

Pull the intake and change the knock sensors and harness while you are in there along with the intake gaskets. Use felpro gaskets also.

[@gorritas1234]

I did it with the wood screw!!

[@gperez3077]

Definitely a big help on the video well explained really didn't understand where the filter was until now thanks for the great video again man appreciate it and so does my Denali 6.2

[@autorepairchamps]

Glad that you found this video helpfull.

[@bringbacktheclassics]

Trying to do this with my 05 escalade. Hopefully I can find the screen

[@southsidetv773]

How far down is the screen? Did you have the whole 6” bolt in the port for the screen?

[@autorepairchamps]

No , barley half an inch into the screen and into the hole

[@southsidetv773]

@@autorepairchamps So does the screen sit at the very top of the opening? I'm trying to see if I even have a screen in mines? I can't see back there so I'm only dealing with touch

[@autorepairchamps]

@murphb40 yes inside the hole at the very top. So top of the screen is flush with the top of the hole surface.

[@southsidetv773]

@@autorepairchamps Thanks!!!

[@armandoanaya3140]

@@southsidetv773did you end up putting a screen? Mine dont have one

[@jameschupp2230]

I have taken out the oil pressure sensor, and I have used a hook and I do Not feel any Filter Screen down in there. I have done video of the hole and I do Not see anything there. Can I run without a Filter Screen?

[@autorepairchamps]

Maybe it was replaced once before and a screen was never installed .I am not 100% positive but maybe certain models didn't come with a screen. I am not sure thought . Easy way to find out is check with your dealer or your auto parts store and see if the sensor comes with a filter or a standalone .

[@OffRoadFamilyAdventures]

Thank you for this!

[@autorepairchamps]

not a problem :)

[@koanytone]

Ive tried with a 3” screw and I don’t feel anything in there and it’s all the way in. I don’t know that’s there a screen in mine. How far down are you going?

[@autorepairchamps]

You may not have one check with your dealer if your specific Chevy or GMC sub model has one or not first. Some trucks dont come with one.

[@koanytone]

@@autorepairchamps that’s what I’m thinking, I’m actually running to get a decent flashlight so I can actually see down in there and go from there. Thx for the feedback! Much helpful and appreciated!

[@autorepairchamps]

@@koanytone autozone or orallys should be able to tell you if you model comes with or bot . just need to provide them your vin number . good luck

[@jfiyahthasoulgitta]

@Southern Time I have the same issue

[@jfiyahthasoulgitta]

@Southern Time yes I just installed mine as well without the screen but mine is still showing low pressure. So I guess it might be the pump??

Thanks for showing this

[@autorepairchamps]

No Problem - Anytime 🙂

[@nathanmarshall7523]

Anyone know if a clogged screen can cause erratic gauge readings?

[@autorepairchamps]

Yes it can , but they are cheap enough to replace anyway. you need to take it out anyways to see the clogged screen . It is cheap just replace it . Good luck !

[@marc96accord]

I use a M8x1.0 tap to grab and remove the screen

[@autorepairchamps]

Good to know - Thanks for sharing

[@harleyrayyanes3792]

I have 2017 model that has the same problem but I can't locate the screen.. and I can't find a video for that year and make..

[@autorepairchamps]

I am not sure if the 2017 Model have the screen or not , best way is to contact your dealer get the oil pressure sensor from them and see if it does come with . you can always ask their parts department if the make and model you have has a screen or not , if it does you will need to use the method I covered in the video to remove the screen . Good luck !
