Review on πŸš— ACDelco GM D1818A Engine Oil Pressure Sensor: Genuine Original Equipment for Optimal Performance by Kyle Omaha

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very satisfied, the sensor is working again. Get a dedicated connector to remove this and find a YouTube video on how to do it.

Worked great on my Silverado 1500 2000 5.3L V8. My oil sensor accidentally cracked - now it works like new. If you have small hands or know someone who could help you, you can do this without removing anything other than the plastic cover on top of the motor. There is no need to remove the fuel lines and/or the intake as some say. There are a few videos on YouTube on how to do this with the right length extensions and a swivel head. Be sure to buy a special socket to take it outside - there isn't enough room for a regular deep socket (the walls are thicker). Also keep it pressed against the block when tightening/loosening, otherwise you can easily break the plastic electrical connector or even remove the connector. Oil filter for the sensor or not. It wasn't in my truck. I believe active fuel management vehicles have them, but the only way I could find out (besides fishing there) was to call the dealer. You'll definitely want to replace it while you're there, but there's a whole process to getting it (see YouTube too).

Pros
  • Made to GM OE specification for fit, form and function
Cons
  • Very expensive
