LMResto doesn't seem to offer the one without the sensor bung. Trying to get the car back on the road by tomorrow night and need to drive it from ATX to Conroe. Don't really have the time to wait anyway.If it were me, I'd send that oil pan back and get one without the level sensor bung.

Probably what I'm going to do. I know Summit offers a delete plug but I was just seeing if anyone has had the issue tracking one down at one of the chain auto stores.If time is of the essence, then drop by local parts store and just pick up the cheapest sensor that they have.

I know they have the sensor, I was just trying to find the plug. This is probably the route I will have to go and send $60 on a sensor/ plug
Yep tracked one down $4 at local auto shop.I'm pretty sure its a 20mm 1.5 thread size.
Where did you go?? Is that the right size also??I know they have the sensor, I was just trying to find the plug. This is probably the route I will have to go and send $60 on a sensor/ plug

Wait, shouldn’t a bad or missing sensor light up some light in the dash, like the oil light?No it will not trip a CEL
Simply unplug it and install an M20x1.5 oil pan bolt and rememver to check the oil.

I knew it was not an ECU connected sensor, but with the low coolant light in my car, I expected there to be an idiot light for the oil sensor. Thanks for the prompt answer.I’m only referring to the low oil sensor. It doesn’t connect to the ECU at all so it won’t dump a code. The word “sensor” also needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Basically it’s a switch. When the oil level drops, it closes to ground and the oil light comes on.
If you unplug it, it can never ground out so it won’t come on.
87-89 coolant level switches are the same thing. When they close, the light comes on. If you unplug the sensor (since they are not on the LX models) the plug stays open forever since it can’t close and connect to ground and the light never comes on.
Modern cars I’m sure will dump 10 codes to the modules if such a sensor fails.
