Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect fit for 2008 GMC Acadia

Car: 2008 GMC Acadia (but it's the same product and process for many GMC models) Tools I used or similar. Required: 1) 3 Handle Oil Filter Wrench - https://amzn.to/2YCo4RL2) Long Flex Head Ratchet Wrench - I used one from Harbor Freight but I like it too - https://amzn.to/3ngwsQO 3) Lisle 13250 Oil pressure switch socket and that has to be - https://amzn.to/3kUHSqO4) 3 inch adapter - I used another one from my tool box but something like that - https://amzn. to/3toEkkn5) Some latex or nitrile gloves - because your hands will get dirty when you take out the oil filter - https://amzn.to/3yNblaX6) Castrol 03057 GTX MAGNATEC 5W-30 fully synthetic engine oil - https://amzn.to/3ts1oPh7 ) ACDelco GM Original Equipment D1843A Engine Oil Pressure Switch - the most important thing is this product8) Oil Filter - h ttps://amzn.to/3h8hbxO You are reading this because you have been scammed many times in the past by dealers and auto mechanics and now you do not trust them more, or you want to do the job yourself because whatever you want, do it right and get the "I can do anything” satisfaction and most importantly, save money. Process: 1) Wear gloves, I prefer nitrile gloves. 2) Remove the oil filter, make sure you put a pan on the ground to catch the oil that flows out of the oil filter. I didn't get much. 3) Remove the sensor sensor adapter on top of the old oil pressure sensor. It has a groove, once you pull it out and lift it, it comes off easily. 4) To loosen and remove the oil pressure switch, use an oil pressure switch socket with a 3" socket adapter and a long ratchet. 5) Clean the old spot with a rag plug and send back the new oil pressure sensor, tighten it a bit, I haven't looked at the specs 6) You can return the same oil filter if it hasn't been used or put in a new one Customs service. I just changed my oil 500 miles ago so I used the same. 7) Check the engine oil level with a dipstick, add new oil if necessary to the desired level. 8) Shut everything down, take a quick drive around the neighborhood to make sure everything is ok so you don't get stuck on the freeway. And everything is ready. I hope this solves my problem with the "Engine too hot, stop" messages. Will update this in a few miles. 30 minutes of your precious time and endless fun.
