Aug 24, 2019 Hi I have a P0520 code. Most likely culprit is the sensor/sender itself right? I have a 2012 3.6L engine. I see on the service manual that I need to remove the intake. Do I need to buy the gasket set? or are they rubber/reusable? Thanks! Joined

There is a TSB for oil pressure switch for that code.

The intake removal is only necessary for vehicles with the engine mounted longitudinally. On the vans, it is easy to get to from the driver side straight into the valley below the intake. You will need a special socket, though. I used Lisle 13250.

There is a possibility that the sensor is ok and you are having oil
pressure problems. If the oil pressure tests ok, you should check the wiring... if that checks ok, you may have gotten a bad switch out of the box. Its rare but it happens.,
