The oil pressure sending unit is located on the back of the block beside the driver's side head by the back of the intake manifold.

The intake manifold needs to be removed to replace the oil pressure sensor.

I have had mine replaced twice in the last year, and they were able to do it with out removing the intake manifold.

Oil temp sensor is right above the oil filter. Oil level sensor is screwed into the side of the oil pan, passenger side, near the starter.
