Kia 94750-37100 Engine Oil Pressure Switch

I bought this to fix the following issue: oil pressure indicator light when oil is warmed up and engine is at <1500 RPM or idle. If my Sorento had the 3.3L V6, then it would have been covered under the extended (150,000 mile) warranty, but no such luck with my 2.4L V4. I've heard that dealerships will charge >$850 for this repair, so I am very glad I was able to DIY it.It's a pain, but simple process to replace. You do -not- have to take off the intake manifold. There is a bracket with 4 bolts on the underside of the motor just above the oil filter that needs to be moved out of the way. From there, you can disconnect the oil pressure switch from the wiring harness. If there is oil in the wiring harness connection, then the switch was bad and needed replaced. To replace the switch, you need a 23 mm or 15/16" deep socket and a long ratchet or socket extension. There will be a bit of struggle to get everything to fit in a tight space, and you will be working blind for some of it. Replace the old with the new switch, torque to ~15 ft-lbs or just past hand tight. The threads are small and fragile, plus they are tapered (threads will not go all the way in). It took me about 30-45 minutes from start to finish.Good luck!

Very good it works it did the work thank you

Good part , fast

Replacement part stopped engine from leaking oil

This is a factory Kia oil pressure sending unit used on many Kia cars. It’s a common failure point where oil will leak from the plastic housing and your oil pressure light will occasionally come on at idle. I have two 2017 Kia Sportages and both failed within a few months of each other so these were a welcome fix considering the dealer price is 4x what Amazon charged. As for changing this sending unit, it’s not terribly hard but takes some patience. Remove the lower skid plate/belly pan and then from underneath remove the metal brace that supports the intake and connects to the block directly in the way of removing the sending unit. Once that metal brace is out of the way, it’s possible to remove the sending unit. The hardest part for me was getting the wiring unclipped from the old one prior to removal.

Exact fit for my daughters car. Fixed the problem.

20,000 miles later still working goodIt fixed the leak and the oil light on the dashboard of my 2016 Kia sorento

Not much else to say this is a factory Kia Part. It works great on the 2.0L Kia Soul engine. And for anyone looking for the placement on the 1.6L and 2.0L engines it is located right next to the oil filter.
