is the location of the sensor the same as the location as the 9 i got a 05 8

 

I have the same flickering light problem. I'll try to add oil first. Is it OK to add a different brand of oil as long as it is fully synthetic 10W-30?

 

i just fix flickering light just by cleaning plug on the oil pressure sensor

 

What did you clean it with?

 

replaced mine yesterday, you def need to remove the battery and tray. To me it seemed to be located in the center of the block at the bottom, saw a pic on another thread where it was located and it showed it almost at the edge of the block on the drivers side towards the top. Def was not there...

 

I just notice that I have this same problem. Hopefully I can get it fix when I go to autozone tommorow and get a new sensor.

 

For those who may wonder, changing the oil pressure sender solved the problem of the oil lamp flicker.

 

my sensor was the problem also... changed it and problem gone

 

On my way to autozone to buy a oil pressure switch my self. Light flicker wigging me out

 

Just my luck autozone actually had it in stock but not the socket
ill try searching for it tomorrow so i can install it

 

OK, With oil fill I only use 4.3-4.5qts and I am slightly over the full line when its cold. So I don't know how I am going to run 5.4 without over filling my oil. I also need to replace the sensor I guess as tonight after several WOT runs at Idle I was flickering and it was freaking me out and only because I had blown the dipstick out twice on Thursday while driving home so now I have a throttle body spring holding it down. SO can someone post a pic of the FSM stating 5.4qts. I am also running Amsoil 10w30 Dominator switched from Amsoil 10w40 AMO. I am also on FP's Oil Return Line from the filter housing. I am running a Oil Pressure Gauge from AEM but I am tapped on the Side of the head where the large Throttle body Cable Braket is.

 

5.4=capacity of engine, filter, oil cooler. 5gts is the normal fill for oil changes.

 

I think that the 5.4 is a typo. The factory owners manual says 4.5 quarts plus .3 for the filter. It says the same on alldata and everywhere else I look. It was the same for the DSMs. Everyones always just used 5 because it was so close, but never 5.4 quarts.

 

Thank you, I used no more then 4.5 and its slightly above the full line so I know 5.4 would be way to much.

 

please agian chim in were is this sensor at?
