2012 JK, replacing Oil Pressure Switch/Sensor. Oil cooler too?
Hello all!
i am getting a P0520 Engine Oil Pressure Sensor/Switch Circuit Malfunction. So I will be replacing the sensor. Knowing what is involved with taking the upper and lower intakes off, would you recommend replacing the oil cooler while I am already in there? I am not certain the oil cooler is leaking as of now, but I do know that due to its location between the cylinder banks, it is not uncommon for it to fail. I also know that the oil filter housing tends to get brittle and can break if not careful while changing the filter. So since I will already be that deep in to it, should I upgrade it while I am in there? Is there a specific one that is recommended? Maybe an aluminum one? I have seen them on Amazon, but I am kind of leery of cheap Amazon products since I have been burned by them in the past (thermostat/housing didn't even last 2 years)...
On a side note, I am also getting a P0304 that comes and goes. Jeep doesn't run rough or anything, so the misfire is not constant. So while I am in there I am going to move the 4th cyl coilpack to the passenger side and replace the spark plug. Then if the code moves to different cyl I will replace that coil. If you have any recommendations here too, that would be great!
Thanks in advance for any and all tips and advice!
