Thank you for showing that it can be replaced from underneath. I thought this was going to be a couple of hours. My beer didn't have time to get warm before I was out from under the truck.
Easy fix! I have a 2013 F-150 5.0. Once your truck gets a few miles on it, you need to use a thicker oil! Ford recommends 5W20, but that’s too thin and makes your Oil Pressure Censor come on after a while and when it warms up. Just switch to 5W30 and your problem will go away!!!
Worth a LIKE just for actually showing removal and replacement. I was wondering how much oil was going to come out of there. I think I need to do this for my 2014 Ford Explorer. I was thinking of changing the oil and just looked under there last week to make sure I knew where things were, when I saw oil near the filter and dripping from the bottom of the neighboring AC compressor. Today I slid under there and saw more oil splashed around the Oil Sensor. I'm looking for a 13/16 but I have a 21 wrench if I needed. Probably close enough as this looks low torque. The Explorer is a lot more crowded under there. I might make a video of my repair and replacement also. Thanks again, Take care. Cheers.
Glad the video was of help to you buddy!. 21 mm should do the job, perhaps a little bit tightly but doable. Although no necessarily a performance symptom but an annoying one for the leaking oil.
I'm very sorry to hear that Joseph 😔. So sad some shops will charge so much just for diagnosis. They should wave it or share the diagnose fee once they sell the repair.
great vid using as a reference for my 2011 Edge 3.5 took it to my local mechanic today and they wanted to charge me like $300 for part and labor I was like no Ill comeback another day (given on the edge is a little bit trickier to get to it due to the room in the engine bay)
I just went through this whole thing. Make sure you clean the wire terminal out and protect the contact properties with something like DeOxit. The terminals apparently get ‘fricking’ on them and lose proper contact when hot.
@@awesomepumashoes Just saying to make sure you clean the plug and the sensor contacts really well. There is a product called Deoxit that works really well after everything is clean.
@@awesomepumashoes you may just plug and go yes. he is suggesting to clean the terminals and add some dielectric grease perhaps, something that will keep the connections free from moisture and dirt, ensuring a better connection.
I had a cylinder 5 misfire also on my work truck so this is a strange coincidence. My oil pressure sensor is bad. It will drop at idle and kick the light on or going down the road and it chimes non stop. I have ignored it for awhile now since I haven’t had any oil loss but it’s been dripping. Going to tackle it this weekend since it’s such a cheap part. I am not wanting to take to the office because they take our trucks out of service for awhile even if it’s a simple repair and stick us in stupid little Nissan vans. It’s a simple in house repair but you can’t explain that to the boss.
I’ve tried to resolve this issue. I’ve used the duralast replacement and the Ford motocraft replacement. Still doesn’t fix it. Cleaned the contacts. No oil leaks. This is driving me nuts
I know this video is 3 months old but here ‘s a question:Did that solve the problem?because my 2012 F150 5.0 4x4 is having the same issue and the Ford dealership couldn’t find the problem recently.Thank you in advanced.Good video by the way👍
Hi, it did solved my problem! Dealerships are, for the most part very technical and like to see a problem reported by the computer via the check engine light and codes, and that is all good. But I learned over time that some problems will not directly report to the pcm. As I dealt with air control valves that were an issue but never came as a code. Sometimes you have to put in the balance your guessing time vs a small price to risk solving your issue.
I'm glad it solved the problem. I have replaced this sensor 3 times in the past 3 years and it still continues to give the oil pressure intermittently at idle and while driving.
So I've seen that I need to clean the connect both inside and around it. Can I just clean it with water? Also, after cleaning the whole thing and I plug it in to the new sensor, do I have to wrap the connection with some sort of tape? DeOxit? Isn't that a spray? Is all this necessary?
I'm having a similar issue with my 2004 f-150. What is the sensor immediately towards the bumper from the one you changed? Is there anyway I can send you a picture of what I'm talking about. Do you have other social media accounts?
Your the man, even showed the wrench I need
Glad to be of help!!

Well I'm sorry I'm the reason why you didn't get to have a second cold beer on this job. thou I'm sure you celebrated with many more!! greetings!!:)
Obviously this isn't a 4 wheel drive.

Excellent video. Clear and shows actual work. Thank you.

Thanks for the video. I just paid $258 to have this done to my truck. $150 for the diagnosis and the rest parts and labor.

You are a God send. Thank you!
Great job explaining the procedure.
Thank you Carlos!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! Thank you!
Thanks for your kind comment. Hope it was beneficial to you!
"That's my torque right there, one hand!" MY GUY RIGHT HERE.........LOL
It hasn't failed me yet 🙂
This fixed my problem cleaned the sensor thanks bro
Such a clean video
I really appreciate your comment, Mr. Yung, thanks!
Excellent communication and explanation.

Thanks for your input D!
What do you mean by "protect the contact properties"? Why can't I just plug the connector to the sensor unit and be done?

So i did this and thr low oil pressure still turns on at idle I cleaned the terminals but there is oil in the engine any suggestions@@mrmoreno4640
Thank you.

Send them the bill🙂
Perfect
I don’t have any oil pressure problems, but I noticed a small oil leak from around this sensor. I am going to replace it.
There's not many other things around the sensor, so that should solve it. Good luck!!
Somebody who actually shows the wrenching on it !!!

Maybe your case is not the sensor? Gauge maybe?
@@Mrmorzun I’ve resolved my issue. I reset my computer by unplugging the battery and draining it.
@@G_SixT did that fix the issue
@@Sebastian-bk6mc since resetting the computer using the drain battery method. It has only happened once.
Ur oil pump?

@@justinwaltman9422 I’ve replaced it with two different sensors. Duralast and Ford motor craft part. Still not solved

Definitely not water. Get some contact cleaner and clean it, get it nice and dry, and throw some dielectric grease in there and plug er back together.
Just read a bit ago not to use di electric on the metal part of connectors all though I have for years.
I'm having a similar issue with my 2004 f-150. What is the sensor immediately towards the bumper from the one you changed? Is there anyway I can send you a picture of what I'm talking about. Do you have other social media accounts?
I'm sorry I never saw this until now. I hope you solved your issue.
Nice job but a little messy, a good mechanic is more clean, clean connections ect
