While doing my last oil change I came up with this idea... on the later years (I think anything after 92 or 93 or so, but I'm not sure) the oil filter is mounted sideways right below the oil pressure sender. It's really easy to smack into the sender and crack it or damage it. The way I see it, there are two possible ways to fix this issue:
- switch to the old style OFA with the vertical filter. See http://www.madxj.com/MADXJ/technical/technicalfiles/ARoilFilterConversion/OilFilterConversion.htm for more info
- take out that silly right angle fitting that connects the oil pressure sender to the block/OFA and replace it with a straight through fitting, so the sender is vertical.
