I replaced Oil Pressure Sensor on 06 Silverado 4.8L. Truck was reading about 40psi when starting-up but drops to about 30psi, but runs good. When I purchased the sensor it did not come with a filter, but some did. I YouTube some videos and some cleaned the filter and reused it. In some videos it showed how simple it was to reach the sensor without disassembling VLOM, so I chose this method. When I took out sensor I was trying to fish-out the filter with a pick, but could not feel the filter loosening nor could I see with an extendo mirror and light to see what was what. I was hoping to get a better oil pressure reading. So is this model Silverado have a fixed oil pressure filter or needing some other extractor tool. Need to know before I disassemble VLOM next Friday and get a better look. And I'll check oil pressure with a tester to reset oil gauge at the instrument panel which I should have done first... I appreciate any insight.
