Oil pressure sensor change 3.8 G80

[Stevethompsonuk]

Any advise on changing out the oil pressure sensor, apparently this is not covered under the powertrain warranty.
My dealer quoted $600 so I’m assuming it’s 3-4 hours, for someone who’s done it before.
Im allowing a day, any special tools, any guidance advice would be appreciated.
Number of YouTube videos but nothing real clear.
Any part number advice for the sensor 2017 g80 3.8L.
I have 947502A000 ??? Would this be correct?
The dealer quoted $175 for the sensor, I’ve seen this online from $40 upwards, all stating genuine part.
Thanks in advance

I found this video. It starts out showing a G90 V8, but it does go on to show a 3.8. It shows replacement with the intake already off, but shows some of putting it back on. I didn't realize that the fuel rails had to come out too. I'd replace the o-rings on the injectors.

Thank you, does not look to bad to remove and fit new sensor,
Agree about the O rings.
I think I will do a in-depth video when I do the job, being that very little information is available on line, will help others with this common problem with the 3.8L Genesis.
Thank you.

i am Korean American living in Texas. I just did some research about oil pressure sensor issue for my G80. I found some Interesting Korean articles. In Korea, it's not a recall, but drivers can get free service. for replacement of oil pressure sensor. If you want me to give you the link, email me jasonlee10670@gmail.com You can use google translate the articles.

2017 G80, 3.8-liter, at 82k mi, I ran over a huge pot-hole ... jerked the front passenger side (thought I was going to have a flat tire). Soon after, the oil light started coming on whenever I stopped, then, disappear as I pressed gas pedal. Whenever the engine is "cold" (i.e., the first 10-15 minutes or so) the light does not come on at all. Now, a few weeks after the initial occurrence, the oil light comes on more erratically (even at 40-45 mph constant speed -- but only very seldomly). A local mechanic refused to change the sensor, blaming the difficulty in getting to the sensor (4-6 hrs of labor); he said this sensor is a typical problem for Hyundai and Genesis after about 60k mi.

Isn't a mechanic's job to do difficult things?

Yes, but in away, he was looking out for the customer's interest. The mechanic was putting himself "in my shoes" and questioning is it really worth the money? I could've paid, and, he would've done the job, if I asked him to.

What’d you end up doing? I’m at 100k and very similar thing happened. I was quoted about $1000 with labor and materials included which is a lot more than I was expecting to pay when he told me the likely issue.

I'll monitor oil level and keep driving until the oil light comes on permanently. Then, It'll most likely be a real issue with oil delivery to the engine. I'm sort of banking on that does not happen.

Please note that the oil pressure sensor is used by the ECM to decide which of the two levels to run the oil pump at. The low reading may cause it to run the oil pump at the higher level all the time. I wonder if that could lead to premature oil pump failure?
