the LOS (low oil sensor) is in the side of the oil pan on 1996 V8 Mustangs only

Yes..I have a 1996 v8 mustang...my low oil light comes one and off randomly...and the oil level is fine...I think this sensor may be the problem...I looked for it but cant seem to find it.....I only see one bolt to drain the oil?

Its right next to your oil filter.. its the only thing close by with a wire hooked to it lol

 

[forum155pl]

its not on the oil pan anywhere... it doesnt sence how much oil you have.. its for the pressure...

im so confused....haha..randy says there is a low oil sensor and then he says theres a pressure sender....so is it the same thing or what?...the only thing i could find is the piece you guys are talking about next to the oil filter....

ok, let me explane.

all the modular engines have a "Oil Pressure Sender" for the gauge in the dash and the "SENDER" is located on the oil filter housing.

the LOS (low oil sensor) used ONLY on 1996 V8 Mustangs is located on the driverside of the engine oil pan. this "SENSOR" trips a low oil light on the dash when the engine gets @1qt low. if you engine is topped-off wth the right amount of oil and the LOS light is still on, the "SENSOR" is bad and should be replaced.
