What engine and could you better explain the problem and question? :huh:

 

I thought the 2008 XL7 only came with the 3.6L 6 cyl. The problem is that periodically the warning chime would start chiming and the message low oil pressure/stop engine would show. It even did it once after changing the oil. I came on here and was given the advice to start with changing the oil pressure sensor. The car stopped doing it so I stopped my research. Now it is doing it again so I'm back on here and can't find the advise I got last time i.e. Where the sensor is, how to change it etc. please help
thanks,

We have to ask to be sure, as depending where in the world Zuk Models are built, it could have any number of engine accompanyments to include diesel.

Your sending unit appears to be next to the oil filter, as is typical. Not sure that you want to spend THAT much money on a hunch though.

Aftermarket inexpensive though...

Thanks, Will it be obvious how to replace this by looking at it? And I assume I have to drain the oil?

 

Rather easy. The only sensor with wires in the area. No need to remove oil as it is mounted above oil level. Deep well socket is the best removal tool. A little tight of an area to navigate in.

 

thank you very much

 

A ratcheting box end wrench may be easier to use...
