Replacing Oil Pressure Switch

[vidmaster]

Does the oil pressure switch just screw out and I screw new one in and reconnect wire? Do I need to drain the oil out of the car before I change this? If so, I'll wait till I change my oil again before I do it. Do I need to torque it down to certain specs or just tighten it down hard? (Yes I'm a newbie!)

Also, anyone know a place where I can get a magnetic drain plug for my model stang as I had some metal shavings in my oil last time.? Thanks~

Yes, it's good idea to swap it out during an oil change (a little bit of oil may leak out). As long as you monitor your oil level in the meantime, you'll be fine until you replace the switch (you may need a little bit of teflon tape - can't remember if the plug has some on it from the factory). Not sure on the torque specs though, sorry.
