Review on 🔧 OEMTOOLS 25254 Oil Pressure Switch Socket – 1/2 Drive – Fits 1" & 1-1/16" Switches – Accepts Units up to 2-5/8" – Chromed Steel by William Obong

This tool is suitable for oil level gauges. I say fits in quotes because I had to make some changes to get the tool working. Because of these modifications, I only gave this tool 3 stars. First of all, this repair, although simple, is extremely complex. Mainly because there was literally no way to physically see the oil gauge on my 2007 Avalanche. Therefore, all repairs must be done by touch. Here's a great, albeit short, YouTube video that does an excellent job of showing the exact location of the oil sensor on a 5.3 liter Chevrolet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1ihpLxSn3sAfter receiving a replacement tool and probe (ACDelco D1846A), I checked the match between them. There was a large burr on the front edge of the socket as well as the edge of the sensor. This created such interference between them that the socket could barely fit over the sensor. I used my dremel with a carbide tip to remove these burrs. After I was done, the socket fitted the sensor perfectly with no interference. For an hour I tried to plug an old sensor from my Avalanche into a socket. No matter how much I moved, tapped, peeked, or cursed, I couldn't get the nest to slide over the sensor. I carefully felt the edges of the old sensor and noticed burrs. There is no place in this area for a tool to attempt to remove these burrs. I decided that the only way to install this outlet was to make it bigger. I used my dremel to sand down the 6 inside corners of the socket. I was careful not to remove any material from the flat surfaces as these are the driving surfaces of the tool and I didn't want them to be compromised. I only removed 0.005-0.010 from each corner, but that was enough for the bushing to finally slip over the old sensor. I've read many posts about this repair saying universal joints and a few extensions were required to remove the sensor. I used a 1/2 x 3/8 adapter, a 3" extension and a 3/8" ratchet to remove and install the sensor. Of course, I only had 1-2 clicks on the ratchet, but it was enough for me again saying this repair is not hard it does require patience not for the tooling adjustment issues it would probably only take an hour or so problem it took about 3 The price for the tool and gauge at Revain was about half of what they were asking the dealer for the part alone.
