Selected User Reviews For Genuine Subaru Oil Pressure Switch - 25240AA060
Wisps of smoke could be seen near the oil fill neck under the hood. I looked into the problem on various forums, and the recommendation was to replace the sensor. I bought two because if the first one fails, the second is said to fail soon after. Both can be easily replaced with a 24-millimeter deep well socket and a 6-millimeter deep well socket. An 8-inch extension, a ratchet, and some thread sealant are all you'll need. DO NOT TIGHTEN TOO MUCH! The sensor does not thread in flush with the block because it uses a tapered pipe thread. Overtightening the sensor or the section of the block it threads into can cause it to break or crack, so proceed with caution. This is a simple fix that can be done at home; just be careful not to overtighten it. br>P0028 is the driver side sensor, which is located near the oil filler neck on the front of the motor. br>P0026 is on the passenger side of the motor, near the fire wall.
It provided peace of mind at an affordable price. 5 liter sedan br>br>Installation is simple; simply unplug the old plug and remove the old oil pressure sensor with a deep socket of the appropriate size. I've driven over 600 miles since replacing this part and writing this review, and there have been no leaks. br>br>Would buy again or recommend to a friend or customer who was interested in the part.
The two most likely causes of P0028 and P0026 codes are dirty or low oil, or a malfunctioning switch. Because it's a relatively inexpensive part to replace, I do so instead of attempting to check the voltages, resistances, and other parameters. br>This is a genuine Subaru part. Installing/replacing the unit was a breeze. Torqued to a value of 16nM.
My 2010 was throwing a P0026 code and had sluggish, bucking acceleration whenever the throttle was opened more than 1/4 and the rpms were over 3000. This was attempted after an oil change. If you overtighten, the receiving part of the engine may crack. This is much cheaper than paying $150 to $200 at a shop or dealer!.
This was a genuine Subaru part that appears to have solved the small oil leak problem I was having on that side of the engine, and it was significantly less expensive than the dealer. Also, the delivery was very quick.
I was pleased to find an OEM part at a reasonable price, which was simple to install and functioned flawlessly.
It was installed on the passenger side of my 2007 Subaru Outback. My oil leak was repaired successfully. On the treads, I suggest using some type of pipe thread sealant.
Install it with caution; if you don't, the head may crack.
