Tell me where the oil pressure switch is.
 

On the pentastar engine. 2013, got the check engine light, code is P0520 oil pressure switch. I will call the dealer tomorrow, but would like to inspect it myself first.


So where the heck is it??? Drivers side? Pass side??? Front, rear... A picture or diagram would be awesome...

Thanks for any help.

Nevermind, thanks.

If you or anyone needs diagrams let me know would love to get you them..

I could use the diagrams. I need to replace my oil sensor. I've read that you have to take the upper and lower intake off. Now I'm reading it's on the block on the driver side. Which is it? It's a 2013 JKU.

On the 3.6, It connects into the oil filter/cooler housing on the back side, underneath the lower intake plenum. Real PITA.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Do you know if I have to replace seals or gaskets when I remove/replace the intake?

You might as well put new seals in there since you have to dig into the motor. They are not that expensive. The job sucks and I would like to kick the engineer in the nuts for designing it that way.

Engineers typically get a bad rap for things like this when it’s rarely an engineering choice. The engineering team designed something then there is another cost analysis team that goes through a product and decides how it will save money to alter a design. This is where most of the stupid things happen. I took a class in my sophomore year that covered all of this. It’s quite funny how something that saves a manufacturer a few cents per item makes such a big difference on the user end.

Originally the 3.6 was used in front wheel drive applications, where the engine sits sideways. If the engine were not crammed up against the firewall, access would be much less restricted. It's still a real dumb design, but I bet if you had access to the back of the engine, it could be changed without pulling the intake.
