Oil System Question....

95mustanggt · 07-05-2002, 10:16 AM

I'm getting high oil pressure on my gauge. I know the gauge is right because I'm getting oil coming out of the breathers.

The question I have is that were is the oil pressure sensor? Is it between the pump and the filter? Because if it is maybe my oil filter is plugged and that it was is causeing my problem.

Also, where is the oil filter in the system? does the oil suck through the oil filter then to the pump or does the oil filter drain the oil before it goes to tank?

Thanks.

So if the filter was plugged the oil pressure sensor would not read high....
