*urgent* oil pressure sender

ok i just got off the phone with my mazda parts and service dealer. they told me that the oil pressure sensor is somewhere near the valve cover, drivers side. is that true????? because from my searches on this site i read that its under the car, right near the oil filter.


see ive been tring to install my AM oil pressure for sometime and i havent been able to because i dont know the thread size that i need for the new sender and i'm not sure where this sender is.
i was under the car one day looking up at the oil filter, and i seen two wires their. i wasnt sure which was which. there was one there with a little green wire going to it and the other one had a little bit thicker black wire going to it. if this is the location of the oil pressure sender, which is which ??

so did anyone hear about this location near the valve cover? (its new to me)

called autometer,summitracing and they dont know anything themselves. i even went to a auto shop and they couldnt figure out themsleves either. so now im gunna need some help from you guys and im gunna need to do it myself now.


HELP!

No you won't throw a CEL if you don't reuse the original sendor (you won't get an idiot light if your oil pressure drops to nil, but who cares!)

Just use the new gauge sendor. It should be 28 bspt thread on the block (someone correct me if I'm wrong.)
