today i did an oil & lube on my car . getting ready for 'cruisin the coast' . for some reason the oil filter was very hard to removed . anyway i got it off , had to pry with a long screwdriver on filter wrench . got it off , i was happy . started car to remove from lift , oil press. went up and dropped to zero . i said W.T.F. , raised car back up on lift . as i supected , i had broken oil press. sensor . simple oil change cost me twice of what it should have . anyway i will have a better filter wrench before next oil change . just a heads-up if anyone has the same problem , look out for the sensor . good luck , cheers . ( DAMN , even an old Phart like me can goof-up )

I've had this one for over 30 years. It has never failed me.

Don't torque it on so much. Just because you're getting older dosen't mean you lose your strength

 

yep, broke the sensor off once on my wife's 98 v6 camaro. It is right above the filter and I was trying to get it from the top. It is a ton easier from the bottom, I was just being lazy, bumped it and ended up costing me $25 and a 40 minute round trip to autozone.
