On a scale of 1 - 10, it's a 2.

I cleaned mine and was surprised to see some buildup on one of the sensor ends. Also, I cleaned the plug pins at the same time.

Of course changing a sensor is as simple as could be. What are you guys doing about damaged wires though?

Locate the bad wire (usually the red one if i remember correctly) simply find where it had gone bad cut it out and sotter in new wires throw some heat shrink and some electrical tape on there and ur good to go.... Easiest done on a lift... Rather then laying under the car messing with the wires. If u cant DIY a shop shouldnt charge much to take care of the wiring

Took me about an hour, about 20 minuets to get out the bad wire and
In the new wire then took a little while wrapping up the wires and tucking the away from the oil filter so there no longer being sludged up with oil
