Oil pressure sending unit questions.

For starters how much does it cost? Second can I get a picture of what it looks like on a '97 or newer so i know what im looking for. Also is it something I can run into autozone and get or do I need special order?

Just changed one on my 98 xj I think I paid $22.00 from a local parts store. Sorry no pic but on mine it is located on r/side of motor below the oil filter. Hope this helps.

Don't get it at autozone, try any place else lol I had bad luck with them and in the end the local one for me didn't even stock what I needed. Mine was around $20-$30 and on my 96' was located just above my oil filter, with the electrical harness thing plugged into the back. Just unhook it and unscrew the unit. It is very easy to break with an oil change since it is plastic fused to metal and a nice little bump wrecks it
