Enhance Engine Performance with Standard Motor Products PS287 Oil Pressure Sender Review

Product works as expected in my 2005 Dodge Caravan SXT 3.3L. Installation wasn't difficult. I recommend a special socket, which I ordered at the same time.

Installed on my 1997 Chrysler Sebring JXi. Fits perfectly. However, there was a blue insert that was unnecessary and didn't fit properly until I removed it. Otherwise it was flawless.

I only received a temporary oil pressure warning whilst idling my 2000 Dodge Caravan. I figured it might just be false alerts so I replaced the sensor with an ARES 70321 27mm 3/8 head. Problem solved.

Did the job and fixed the oil warning light that came on intermittently when I pressed the clutch or was going uphill. Ideally, get a long socket to remove the old one and install the new one. I used a vise and it kinda ripped it apart.

Fits as intended. Just had to buy a deep socket to install it. Some people complain that it leaks after installation. You just have to use the right tools and take your time, it has a plastic end that can be broken with a wrench. My oil dripping problem has been solved.

When this unit was installed in a friend's Dodge van it started leaking oil heavily around the plastic gasket crimp for 2 weeks. I installed the NAPA transmitter and they haven't had any problems since. I'm a retired techie and have been using off the shelf parts for many years with no problem. It may have been one in a thousand, so I don't blame the company.

I ordered this PS287 oil pressure sensor from Standard Motor Products and it was sold and shipped by Austin Autoparts, not Amazon. no box wrapped in bubble wrap. I used to buy standard engine sensors and they always came in a box (and I've always been happy with them). It also looks EXACTLY like the $8.00 sensor I bought locally that started leaking through the seal after 6 months. acted better, somehow. It only took 2 weeks for it to start leaking. With no tag and no box, how can you tell if…
