**tsranch13** · 04-30-2011, 05:31 PM

where is the oil level sensor located on the lly motor. my DIC keeps telling le to check engine oil level but i know for a fact that it is at perfect level on the dipstick. so i assume this sensor has gone bad. unless there is ather issues that throw this off. thanks

The level sensor in attached to the oil pan, close to the filter-- dirver's side.

Sure about the level-?

You will have to drain your oil pull that cross plate piece off (4 bolts) and drop the bottom oil pan, it's held in by a clip on the inside of the oil pan, it's not a big deal
