Hello,

The engine oil pressure sensor is located on the rear center of the engine block, near the top (see diagram below).
It can be replaced easily with simple hand tools.
First remove the wiring connector then unscrew the thread from the engine.

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
