ckaprolet Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Anyone familiar with the procedure for changing one of these. Mounts right above oil filter. Any type of sealer required? Does oil have to be drained first? I don't see this covered in the shop manual.Thanks in advance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertdawg Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I'm just guessing here, but I would say, No you don't have to drain the oil, Yes use some thread sealing tape to seal it when you screw it in...YMMV :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything use liquid teflon sealer. Tape on sending units can cause a bad ground and cause inaccurate readings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertdawg Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 On second thought, go with what Bryan posted, yeah the sealing tape would be a bad idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckaprolet Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 Found it. Should be a piece of cake if oil does not need to be drained. I looked up one of the senders on a parts site and it seems to already have some sealant on the threads when new.Thanks for all the input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
