Oil pressure/sending unit housing question

Post by Ebsouljah »

well,

First off i have a KLZE...and i had some buddys of mine at school look for a vacuum leak, and found that i was leaking oil pretty bad. Come to find out its my oil sending unit..went got a new one and when they took out the old one it striped. tried to tap it, and and when they put the new one it....*CRACK*...broke the housing!!...Had to leave my car there over night, ordered a brand new one from the dealer for about $200. the i got to thinking, everything else from my old engine(k8) bolted up, why wont this one.. Well, if fits and there is no leaks and seems to be running fine, but my question is that they had differnt numbers on the oil filters and didnt have time to contrast and compare...so will this raise or drop my oil pressure....Or did i just totally screw my car cuz im cheap :shrug: ....thanx in advance....

K8 & KLZE have the same oil filters and housings. Your good to go.
