torque to 14-15 #'s.
The tool is a deep 27mm socket or a 1 1/16" deep socket will also work (need about 2.5" deep to clear). A Snap-on A120 should do it..

I think mine is starting to act up, last night i noticed the gauge showing my pressure alittle below 80psi and i was cruising at maybe 2k rpms. Im definetly going to change it out though when i swap to an LS6.

i had to drive 30 miles to find an oil sendin unit in stock and when i was there i bought an Sensor Socket . . . bought it at autozone and if i remember correctly it was called an 02 sensor socket not a oil sending unit socket.
