Oil pressure Sending unit questions

[95mustang_gt]

I found out that the Oil pressure Sending unit was leaking oil.My question is when i put a new one on will there be a lot of oil coming out when i take the old one out?

thanks

Nothing will come out when the engine is not running.

Sometimes those are really tight and rusty. I would squirt it down with WD and make sure you keep the wrench square on the nut, or bolt. If you snap that you will not be a happy camper.

What do you reinstall an oil sending unit with? Thread sealer?

Like others have said, none should come out, and I use teflon tape when I did mine, no leaks.

thanks for the replies.Can i use PB to get it a little loose.I got the socket made for it.Would thread sealer work fine?Might be a stupid question,with the tape did you just put it around the Oil pressure send unit after you install it?

thanks

I just used a regular open end wrench with no lube and mine came right out. You can use any type of sealer on it. The factory piece actually comes with that red stuff in the threads already, so you may not even need to add anything.

I put the tape around the threads, then install normally.

Mine came out easy too. I also clean the threads on the sender, wrap them in teflon tape and then install the sender. If you use tape, wrap it the right direction so the tape doesnt try to unwind as you screw it in.

Good luck.
