Default Oil temperature sender source.

Well I'm in the area of the oil temperator/pressure sensors (which aren't working.)
So I figured I might check them out, replace them.

Anyone find a better source for these?
The 'zone has the oil pressure switch, but not the temperature sensor.
Napa has both, but they want $20+ for them.
Ecklers want even more...

Any other places to check?


Sorry - wrong button, no poll here...

This is from napa... It looks similar to what is in my car (when I'm underneat
it and looking at it in the block.

We'll see if you see it...

Otherwise search for 'oil temp sensor'

This is the GM oil temp sensor. I do not recall the cost but it might be worth a try. And you will get an "accurate" reading when you go with an original rather than a generic.

Thanks Paul;

I wrote that number down, but thought it was a Jegs number.

Hmmm,

Has anyone used {Non-supporting vendor}.com ?

#25036292 - list price $31.78 our price $15.89 :eek:

Shipping is $8, but that is quite a difference... I'll check the dealership tomorrow
to see what they would charge.
