Default AH! I broke it!

Well I am officially a member of the "I Broke the Oil Pressure Sending Unit" club. What a worthless POS, I have waterbottles that are made out of thicker plastic than that damn thing.

Anyway, am I going to be able to get this at like an autozone or something or is this a dealer only thing ?
