2.7t Oil Pressure Test?

[btvm92]

How do you perform an oil pressure test on a 2.7t? From what I've found the oil pressure sender is by the crank lock pin, correct? So how would you go about this?

[btvm92]

Or do you perform it through the sensor connected on the bottom of the oil pan?

The one on the bottom of the pan is oil level and temp sensor ... no pressure data there ...

That's what I was thinking, where is the the oil pressure sensor located? I read that it is located below the crank lock pin hole, however I looked up there today and did not see any plug with a wire attached to it.

Does anyone know where the oil sender/sensor is located? Mine is an APB

It's on the back of the oil filter housing.

It's on the back of the oil filter housing.

So remove oil filter housing and install oil pressure tester? I can't find any write-ups on an oil pressure test on this motor

Unscrew the sensor and plug a gauge there or get an adapter for the oil filter housing.
