You don’t have to take the whole intake off. I just changed mine (2009 Sierra 5.3) by removing the cover, unplugging a few hoses to make room, and reaching behind the intake. Start to finish about 30 min. Removing the entire intake is NOT necessary if all you are doing is swapping the oil pressure switch and screen.
Seems to be a fuxload of people who are more than happy to tell you the intake doesn't need to be removed. I'm not one of those people. I'm sure I could do the wrench-work but my main problem was trying to dis-con the damn wiring harness to the sensor. I figured fuckit and chalked it up to wanting the experience of removing and reinstalling the intake just because I've never done it before. So thank you for posting this video. It really was about an hour start to finish and three 16oz cold ones. Good way to spend a Saturday morning, truth be told!
Video was awesome. I followed it step by step. It took me 4 hours, but everything went smooth. I tried the "no intake removal". I spent 4 hours trying without success. Thank you.
wow that looks like a a lot of work for a wire & sensor bolted on - I was just looking to see which side of the engine bay the sensor is most accessible on. My take away from the video after seeing location was to figure out how to use a 1 & 1/16 socket in a tiny space. The intake stayed on! Thanks for the exploratory video.
Oh my goodness, looking for a video on the removal of the pressure switch screen, i just out the switch in 5 minutes, yeah i had to reach down there but oh my goodness, im tired just lookng at this.

I tried doing everyone else's easy way. Couldn't do it and it felt like I was going to snap something off. Thank you for posting this. Might as well change the intake gaskets too, right?
Hello, A different view of how to press down on the connector would be really nice for the people who do not commonly remove them. Thank you for your videos.
so when did he change the vlom cover ??????? note if you do decide to take the intake off check the vlom bolts the front few bolts were loose on my 11 5.3
Same all I does put a socket in the back of it I just need mine don't have a filter into my old one so I'm just trying to figure out how to put a filter in mine the correct way
There was no need to take the intake off and make all that extra work. I just changed my oil sensor in that exact location and the top cover was the only thing I needed to remove.
It is unnecessary to pull the intake manifold off. You can reach back there with a swivel and pull the sensor out I've done it twice on my 2011 Z71. I was searching for a video because I couldn't remember which size socket to use and stumble across this one. Please bring back the downvote button.
wow everyone takes it out in less than 10 minutes. you are doing this just for mechanics in a shop i hope or to discourage people from doing it on their own.
i just took off the cove on my 2011 and unclipped and took off and replaced in under 10 minutes. replaced sensor but I didn't put the screen back i left it out.
Why yes Why not just reach around the back side of the housing and put a socket on the sensor and spin it off ??? why in the name of GOD would anyone pull the intake??? unless it is a Repair Shop jamming the customer for a ton of repair money to do a less them one hour job??? so many videos on you tube showing us just reach around and change it out... now you seam like a great wrench what is really going on here??? how much is that intake gasket??? hope is does not leak now you broke the seal and hope nothing drops into the intake ports during this job... i will just now use a dremel tool to trim out that over engineered plastic cover blocking the sensor that some GENIUS thought of,,, this is the only real problem is the cover... i am a master at Fiberglass and i can if i really wanted to reattach this over designed cover, and sand it flush and paint is and no one would ever know it was touched for i am a true master at Fiberglass WORK on boats or anything else but pulling the intake is just senseless waste of time, i saw another video of a shop doing the same thing and charging the customer a ton of money to pull the intake, i can see that tossing the customer under the bus... Haha....
I replace this oil sender sensor and still having problems with my oil light, keep blinking in my 99 dodge ram 1500 5.2L 4X4. I was thinking maybe it was the filter inside of the oil pan or maybe in my oil pump going out because I heard a knocking sound under they’re coming from the oil pan
F(_) €king GM needs to place this damn sensor somewhere more accessible. My 13 GMC oil sensor gave out on me a year ago and haven’t changed it…engine dont knock and i do the oil change often. F all this work….going behind is a hazzzle too.
Regular mechanic 5 minute job Dealer mechanic 9 hours Customer - $800? Are you swrious Regular mechanic - nah $19 part and a pack of beer Dealer mechanic - well no $800 in labor and $300 for the part $75 inspection fee and $150 waste disposal fee. $1325.... plus tax
I’m out in Atlanta Georgia and there’s so many scammers out here that I wasted so much money on my truck and it still haven’t been fixed yet. That’s why I just keep it parked in my backyard. Because it’s no good connection on my end
I have changed the oil psi sensor 3 times and left intake in place & twice with intake not removed. The 27 mm socket will not fit without loosening the metal plate for engine pulling. Have to loosen it up. I just question how a oil sensor can fail 3 times? Mine never had a screen & failed with less than 10,000 miles first time & again at 145 miles. All the replacement sensors are GM parts. Is the manufacturing at fault? ECM PCM at fault? All three times engine was full of oil as shown on dip stick. No lifter noise or rattles from engine. Any ideas?

Omg this is like a 10min job tops without removing all that mess!
10:53 is when he starts to take out the sensor
Tell he was a dealer tech cause thats how the dealer does it too 🤣
What happens if u find out previous owner did not put filter in sensor ??
Oh my goodness, looking for a video on the removal of the pressure switch screen, i just out the switch in 5 minutes, yeah i had to reach down there but oh my goodness, im tired just lookng at this.
Can this filter stop the flow of oil from the pan to the engine?
Thanks Bro, you made my job easy, I was able to clean underneath as well after removing everything. Much easier!!

I’m gonna be honest with you chief. I’m not doing all that
How do u remove the connector on the sensor
thank you -- good teacher
so when did he change the vlom cover ??????? note if you do decide to take the intake off check the vlom bolts the front few bolts were loose on my 11 5.3
Does 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 5.3 l have this same filter on the Gen3 ?
Are you a master mechanic
I been scratching my head at why you removed the head
Same all I does put a socket in the back of it I just need mine don't have a filter into my old one so I'm just trying to figure out how to put a filter in mine the correct way
What happens when you don't put this in? Would it cause a a code?
Does it matter which way is filter goes in does anybody know

That's why GM dealerships charges you too much 😂
wow everyone takes it out in less than 10 minutes. you are doing this just for mechanics in a shop i hope or to discourage people from doing it on their own.
Dude you doing to much got my dam head hurting
It took me like 5 hours not removing anything. It sucked
O7 escalade and the gen right bofore this do not have the filter. Fyi for those looking
That plastic cover bolted to the back of the manifold does nothing but get in the way.
i just took off the cove on my 2011 and unclipped and took off and replaced in under 10 minutes. replaced sensor but I didn't put the screen back i left it out.
At first I thought it was for a vq then I realized I own a few of these engines lol
lol. I just did mine and I did not do all that. 15min process and I was done.

That to much to Do when it's you're daily vehicle
Leave that screen out. No need for it. Causes issues when it gets sludge on it
I literally didn’t remove anything on my envoy 5.3 did it in 10 minutes

HOW NOT TO REMOVE AND REPLACE AN OUL PRESSURE SENSOR!!!
F(_) €king GM needs to place this damn sensor somewhere more accessible. My 13 GMC oil sensor gave out on me a year ago and haven’t changed it…engine dont knock and i do the oil change often. F all this work….going behind is a hazzzle too.
Your worked way to hard 😅

What happens if you don’t install that ? Besides oil filtration?
