When you install the new one wrap some teflon tape around the threads where it goes into the filter adapter or it may leak again.

the 3 new ones i bought all had thread sealer on them already, its going to leak some when you take it off, so have something to catch some oil, i used a pair of channel lock pliers to get the old one out and the new one in. i had a wrench that fit but its was to much work turning the wench over every turn its a odd fit. channel locks get done fast and easy.
and get some gunk engine de greaser and clean your engine up, thats a real mess.
and these little jems seem to blow all the time, after my 3 rd one let lose i just put a brass plug in the hole and called it a day. till i get a oil pressure gauge.

i was referring to the oil pressure sensor,(little jems) they SUCK! and leak oil at a high rate when they go bad.
I just stuck a wrench on my old sending unit from my 00 GT. It's 1 1/16".
And plugging it woudn't hurt either. This sensor operates with the contacts open when normal, so having the sensor disconnected will not cause an oil light or CEL. And anyways, by the time the oil pressure light does pop up on the dash it's too late. It's just more of a confirmation that "yep, you're motor is f**ked, time for a new one", lol... Love my sport comps. Nothing beats a true gauge. They've saved my butt several times w/ my cars over the years.
