I have 2005 Bonneville that shows that the oil pressure gauge is reading high. I replaced the Sensor - Oil Level after replacing the oil and the oil pressure gauge is still reads high. Could someone tell me if there are 2 oil sensors for this car or if there is another reason why it is still reading high?

What engine? Most have 2 sensors, one for level and the other for pressure. Which one did you replace?

Its a 3.8. I guess it ws the actually the Oil level sensor i replaced. I asked autoz if they were sure that was the only one and they said yes. which i dont think it is. Where is the other located if its for pressure?

Strange that AZ says you don't have one! :runaround:Try Advanced! It is located under the vehicle, passenger side, lower front engine area, above oil filter, mounted in the block. You need to take the right tire off and remove the splash sheild to expose it.
This sensor fits the following vehicles:
BUICK
2000 - 2005 LESABRE
2002 - 2003 RENDEZVOUS
1997 - 2005 PARK AVENUE

CHEVROLET
2006 EXPRESS 1500
2005 SILVERADO 1500
2003 SILVERADO 1500

GMC
2003 SIERRA 1500
2005 SIERRA 1500

PONTIAC
2000 - 2005 BONNEVILLE

Here it is: (New Design)
