I think I took a long screwdriver and broke the sensor connector off to get the socket on.... my fat a?? laid across the engine gasping for air and the wife thought I was having an attack...Well, I did manage to get the socket on. Took photos with my endoscope. There is a plastic shield on the rear of the intake that kept the socket from being straight up. Once I pulled it a little I could push the socket on. BUT, you guys must be midgets or have lady-sized hands . I can just barely touch the plug to try to remove it, but that's it. I can't touch the sensor enough to try and turn it after I get it loose (which I couldn't even do). I have a piece of plywood across the top of the engine to lay on just to reach the sensor. I even tried getting into the engine compartment (standing on the steering column). No dice. If anyone has a trick I've missed to reach back there please let me know!

For what it's worth, I had really low oil pressure all of a sudden on my 07. Put 1qt TF in the oil for 20 miles, got an oil change and pressure is fine now for two months still.
The 5-50 is pretty thick at operating temp and helps fill in some of the gaps the worn metal has created in the engine—almost a band-aid of sorts but a necessary one. I went with the HP/** Welling oil pump to reduce the concerns of moving the oil through the motor at all temps. Michigan winters can get pretty cold.interested in the 5-50, what brought you to that weight?
Mark, are you saying Transmission fluid? If so what brand/weight. Or just any old trans fluid work? I believe I would rather do that than a motor flush on my 07.For what it's worth, I had really low oil pressure all of a sudden on my 07.
