I'm having a bit of a brain fart. Is that sensor a knock sensor or a low oil sensor? The reason I'm asking is because I just noticed that my new Canton oil pan doesn't have that hole in the side of it like the stock pan does. If its just a low oil sensor then it won't be a big deal if I just don't use it. But if its a knock sensor I'll probably have to have it deleted out of the computer program.....right?

Low oil sensor. Our cars don't have knock sensors, and if they did, they sure as hell wouldn't be on the oil pan, haha.
