The answer is yes! Thanks so much.
On my 2004 Cadillac Escalade EXT, I used this socket to remove the oil pressure sensor. It is possible that the same oil pressure sensor is used on many It would be best to look up the part for my engine and to see if it is the same for yours. I would think that would answer your question.
As part of my search, I found the 13250 socket was a suitable socket for the replacement oil pressure sensor on a 2002 2500HD Silverado Hopefully this will be helpful to you. I used it on the 07 Silverado and it worked perfectly.
It works fine as long as you have clearance for a regular socket.

A socket from Autozone was very long, was fitted with a 1/2" ratchet and left no room to attach a ratchet to the oil pressure switch (AC compressor lines are This chrome-plated socket I've shown in my pictures comes from Autozone (notice its extra length and the obvious lack of hex sides to get a wrench into it-- It did not help to use vice grips). Despite trying for over an hour, I was never able to get the switch tightened properly with the Autozone socket (I eventually gave up and lived with the oil leak for a few months until I came across this socket). Using this socket, the job was completed within 2 minutes after driving up the ramp in the van. As opposed to fighting with the POS I was able to find in town, I wish I had bought the socket from the beginning and waited for it to show up first. You can see a comparison in the attached pictures!.
I was able to change my oil pressure sensor with the help of this tool. The oil pressure sensor kit I recommend is perfect for anyone who has to replace theirs. I don't want to worry about having the right tool to take it off the job is fun enough without it. An otherwise tedious task was made easier with this. Although I got my hands scraped up getting the sensor out, it was still useful.
On my 2001 Suburban, the pressure sensor is really difficult to see, even harder to get a socket on, and even harder to replace. My pay grade is higher than that. Taking off the top plastic cover was all I had to do. Below are a few tips for beginners 2) Get this socket (or something really, really similar). There is no such thing as a 'normal' socket. A deep well needs to be dug. 2) Be sure to use the correct length extension. This socket is cheap, fits, and Amazon delivered it on time. The extensions and u-bolt I used were 2 x 4" and a u-bolt, I think This is the only 8" I could find (because there was no This is the length it needs to be. If the piece is too short, or too long, you can't cut it To make sure nothing came loose from the joints, I taped them all with duct tape. It was a hard lesson to learn when I was attempting to accomplish other hard 3) Use a smart phone with trouble-shooting apps! On the left side of the engine, I balanced my iPhone, and on the top, I set up a Google 'Meet' on my laptop that I balanced on top of the engine. A little "wireless laggy" but seeing the blind hole is the key. All in all, it was just At that point, you have crossed the Rubicon, so I had a bit of panic once I removed the old sensor. There is no way to just drive your truck over to your mechanic buddy as there is an open hole that has over 40 psi when the engine is started. Doing the Meet (or Zoom) helped me get off the cliff and made a huge.
The socket is designed specifically to work with 1 1/16" oil sending units that GM and some other manufacturers have been using This socket is designed to support the body of the sending unit, which has rounded corners instead of sharp ones like a typical nut or bolt. Although it is possible to change the sending unit on GM 5 with a regular socket, it is necessary because of its large thickness. An engine with a 3L displacement. Since the sending unit was in a tough to reach location, I didn't want to risk it. The product worked perfectly and arrived two days earlier than expected with free shipping.
By using this socket, you can easily change your oil pressure sensor. The thin walls of the unit make it easier to fit into tight spaces. They are meant to fit the sensor sockets (1- to 3 Like in the picture, you will need an 1/8" or 27mm) like the ones shown. The corners should be off. When the hex nut is shaped like the one shown, and it is an original installation item, it is very likely that you need this socket to replace The aftermarket replacement sensor may differ not only in size, but also the type of socket it takes. The one I used took a standard 21mm deep wall.
The socket that came with my oil pressure sensor replacement for my 2008 Chevy 6 was the one I ordered. As of now, it fits both the old sensor and the new sensor perfectly and made the job slightly The socket does not risk cracking the plastic on the new sensor as it holds it safely, in order not to damage it easily if used with a regular 1 1/16 socket. Even if you only need to use it once, the assurance that you used the right tool is worth it. If you use any socket and find out you cracked the plastic after the sensor is installed and make a mess of your engine, you can rest assured that you did the job.
My goal was to replace the oil pressure sensor on a 2007 Yukon xl fitted with a 5 mm socket after having this recommended by a youtuber. 3Since there's so many problems with this socket, I'll list them. It was both quality control and design-related 1) I had to use a file on all 6 flats because the edges were curved inward. 2) as related to #1, the inside of the sensor is so poorly angled that the aluminum sensor becomes stuck inside Removing the socket from a sensor, which you can barely feel, let alone see, is not an easy task. A little bit of strength on your fingertips is needed to lift the socket off and rotate it. You will get enraged about that one
3) Because of the design, a wobble extension cannot be used. A very frustrating experience. Send a little bit more money, in short. The quality of what you purchase is determined by the price.
