Engine Oil Pressure Switch
#12
What do you mean by "PAC" thread? Is the pressure sensor thread BSP, a Metric straight thread with a boss?
So far, haven't detected any drips, but haven't looked that diligently under the vehicle and under the hood.
From reading that the 2.7 is susceptible to sludging, I think I'm going to go with the 1/2 and 1/2 recommendation with the Seafoam in the oil and in the fuel. This vehicle has about 90,000 miles. What should I use for oil? I usually put Castrol GTX in the "fleet." Should I go with the high mileage version? Should I look at changing from the recommended SAE weight?

use 5w 30 oil type wont make any difference I own a 98 concorde with a 2.7 has 192k on it not a drop of sludge. Just got done rebuilding it was goofing around after U replaced the water pump and chain and the sucker sucked up a washer and blew up my #1 piston.
So yanked it out tore it down to bare block and rebuilt it from there no sludge or bearing wear from lack of oil. Still put all new stuff there any way real dumb if u dont because U are right there.

Switch not easy
I wish the expert would be honest. I could post the same thing from Alldata. I would recommend taking it to a shop. First remove air filter and box. Remove belt using proper tool. Bar with a 3/8 male end on it about 20 dollars at harbor freight. Jack up car use jack and stand remove wheel take off both inner fender covers to make it easier remove small pulley that's right in front of switch.Disconnect the wiring that you cannot reach by sliding red tab to side and pushing down on side of connector and pull back. Unscrew sending unit with 1 and1/16 sending unit socket. Have that expert come and do it in ten min. The shop told me to wait for it. It only took them 3 1/2 hours Best 80 dollars I have spent.

Go through the wheel well, better yet have it done, it is near impossible to remove the wires the right way. You can see it you just can't reach it
