if you are going to do it yourself, while you are buying the switch also get the socket. it will save you time and frustration. On my last oil change I had the new sensor but couldn't get my old sensor off because I didn't have the socket.

I know that the dealer charges $50 including labor, so you know its an easy/cheap thing to do.

I've never understood the need for the special socket. Channel locks have worked just fine the 6 or so times that I've done them...
