Hey, I'm about to replace my oil pressure sending unit....it's been leaky. Do you recommend putting some threadlock on the new sending unit? Is there a washer that goes on as well? Thanks!

 

Just use some teflon tape.

 

I also used tape http://www.motorvate.ca/mvp.php/514

No washer - you just screw it in

 

I used tape also

 

yep i used tape......

 

Does it screw in all the way until it is flush? I did this awhile back when I did not have the correct socket and it seemed tight but I remember still seeing thread.

 

I just replaced my oil pressure sender unit and I too noticed that thread was still showing. Is this normal?

I got it to the point were it would require a significant amount of force to turn it anymore (probably way over the 9-13 ft/lb recommended).

 

As long as it's torqued down and doesn't leak, no worries.

 

just replaced mine.... But my light is still flickering when idle what else could be the problem? the sender was def leaking thats why i replaced it

 

Does the connector fit tight on there? If you move it around or shake the harness, does the light flicker?

 

the light flicker's randomly at idle sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't.... i will check right now and see
