Fig. Fig. 3: Typical low oil level sensor mounting-note: the sensor is constantly submerged in oil, therefore, drain some oil out of the engine before removing it

3. Drain at least 2 quarts (1.9 liters) of engine oil out of the pan.
4. Disconnect the sensor wiring.
5. Remove the sensor from the oil pan using a 1 in. (26mm) socket or wrench. Discard the old gasket.

To install:

When installing the new gasket, the flange faces the sensor and the words "panside" should face the oil pan.

7. Install the sensor and gasket assembly into the oil pan. Tighten the sensor to 13-20 ft. lbs. (17-27 Nm).
8. Connect the electrical wire to the sensor.
9. Lower the front of the vehicle and remove the wheel blocks.
10. Refill the crankcase to the proper level.
