Default LS 2 Oil Pressure High

The other day started the car, oil pressure went straight 80, checked the DIC reads at idle 110, and driving 120.
I guess the sensor is bad, anybody no the locations on the engine, to replace it.
If I know GM, not easy job, and probably costly!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just may close my eyes, and not notice it!

Looking for the locations, might be able to do it myself, hopefully.

its behind the intake manifold and near impossible to get at.removing intake manifold would be the easiest way to do it.if you can do yourself its not very costly

As stated, it behind the intake and under the rear crowling.

If you dig through the spouses make up kit to find some same cosmetic mirrors so you can see into the bind spot as your replacing it, you can change it out without having to pull the intake manifold.
Note, probe scope will work instead of the mirrors to see what your doing when you replace it.



And don't do this hillbilly hack crap the car up to see it, or get to it!!!!!!!!!

In a 2011 GS I got here there's about seven inches clear space above the sensor just remove the connector on top the sensor and pick up the tool below at your local auto parts.

There's no need to remove the intake manifold get the tool remove and replace with thread sealer, careful don't cross threads.

I found a short socket at sears and with an extension and a swivel (and lots of patience) was able to remove the sensor and replace. Hard part was getting the sensor wiring off and back on
