Messed up changing oil pressure switch

Mishka · Feb 27, 2020

Ok, I finally got around to changing oil pressure sending unit and didn't realize it was on a adapter so sadly some of the grime on the engine got into the hole. Should I do a complete oil change with some hotshots stiction eliminator or do you think oil filter w(fl-1955)get it? (Just changed oil 500 miles ago)

You could crank, not start a few revs,messy but dirt would pump out with the pressure build up. actually would be best to not push that dirt into the new sender.

Totally agree. pull the sensor and crank and blow the dirt out. better to clean up a mess than run the risk of the grit hurting the oil pump.
