Subject:Re: .9 bar oil pressure sender replacement

Kevin, I would also replace the oil cooler o-ring if you haven't done that
yet.  You won't lose much oil either way.  The sensor just a few
tablespoons.  The oil cooler o-ring, less than half a quart especially if
you don't dump out the oil filter.  Hope this helps.
