Installation Notes

  1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning work.
  2. Locate the existing oil pressure sensor on the engine block. Clean the surrounding area to prevent contamination.
  3. Place a suitable container or absorbent rags below the sensor to catch any dripping oil.
  4. Carefully disconnect the electrical wire from the old sensor.
  5. Using the correct size wrench, unscrew and remove the old sensor.
  6. Compare the old sensor with the new one to ensure the threads and fitting are identical.
  7. Apply a small amount of appropriate thread sealant to the new sensor's threads, avoiding the sensor's orifice.
  8. Thread the new sensor into the engine block by hand to prevent cross-threading.
  9. Tighten the sensor to the manufacturer's specified torque. Do not overtighten.
  10. Reconnect the electrical wire securely.
  11. Reconnect the battery terminal, start the engine, and check for any leaks around the new sensor.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if my oil pressure sensor is failing?

Common signs include an oil pressure warning light on the dash, a gauge reading of zero or max, or erratic gauge behavior. Verifying with a mechanical gauge is recommended before replacing the sensor.

Is this part a switch or a sender?

This component functions as an oil pressure sensor/switch. It's designed to trigger a warning light or alarm when oil pressure drops below a specific threshold, rather than providing a variable reading to a gauge.

What if a new sensor doesn't fix my oil warning light?

If a new sensor doesn't resolve the issue, inspect the wiring and electrical connector for faults, corrosion, or a loose connection. The problem may also be low oil pressure in the engine itself, which requires immediate mechanical inspection.

Will this fit my engine if my part number is not listed?

This sensor is a direct replacement for Volvo Penta numbers 829587, 867141, 867142, and 875813. If your part number is not on this list, do not purchase without confirming compatibility with your engine's service manual or a qualified marine mechanic.
