2000 4cyl Sport Oil Pressure Sender
Well, I did it again - bought the part I needed before knowing what special tool I'd need to replace it.
My oil gauge dropped to zero a while back and now I'm ready to replace the sender unit. From what I can tell, it's underneath in the area of the oil filter. I've seen some Youtube videos that mention an extra deep 1-1/16 socket to fit over the entire unit. Can I do it with just an open end? Any help from the quarantined masses would be appreciated.

Odd that the Service Manual doesn't show the location for the 2.5. Guess I'll slide under tomorrow and look for it. Are crescent wrenches still around? I don't think I have one anymore! I never trusted them on a hard to break nut.

Which brings up a second question - how do you keep your engine so damn clean? Mine has never been clean and I drive through the farming country 30 minutes each way to work and back. I have to park on a street that intersects a state highway with oil industry trucks and farming trucks driving by 24 hours a day. So I get my share of dust. I'm just fearful of driving to the 25¢ car wash and not being able to restart the engine.
