Default Oil Temp Sensor Part Number?

Does anyone have the part number for the oil temperature sensor for a 2002 C5?

I do not think that is proper, but I am not in the office, so if you'd like to place an order give me a call and I would be happy to help you.

I had to change mine a few weeks ago, low oil temp on display. I was expecting it to have two bolts that connect it, but the bolts hold the housing that the sensor screws into. No need to drain oil, just unplug wiring harness, 19mm deepsocket to remove old and install new,plug in wiring harness. It has thread compound it allready. I think this is the same part number as the coolant sensor, I remember reading something researching the part #.
