Default Oil Sensor Replacement

Looking for procedures in the replacement of the sensor. This is the 1st for me. Any clues. I read about the relocation. Need more info re; intake manifold R&R, etc. Thanks for any guidance available.

Default The best writeup.

I just did it last weekend and the instructions are detailed.

Your year might vary slightly for the fuel lines.

I hope this helps.

While you're in there, why not relolcate it to under the drivers side FRC. That way, next time you need to replace it it'l be a 5 minute job, and with the slightly less vibration and heat in that new position it might be quite awhile.
