Default Oil Pressure Sending Unit

I've replaced it a couple times for max PSI failure. It's failed again. This is all in the last year. Any idea why it keeps failing? Thanks in advance.

one of the main reasons I relocated mine, easier to replace and away from heat !!! (so far on three C 5's have not had to replace ??? after the relocate ???)

This is what I am in the middle of today, Just need to torque down the intake. Went to oreillys and bought their oil pressure sending unit, supposed to be a new one with a small screen to keep contaminets out but, I am just installing the unit. Ohh its not brass looks like aluminum, they said from a new supplier made in the states. We shall see.
