Just make a block off plate unless you plan on using the sensor.

you don't need one. I used the euro delete panel, which adds ~.5l to your pan capacity iirc

I just cut a piece of aluminum, used gasket maker and bolted that bitch to the bottom. No leaks, no problems.

[asubimmer]

I'm pretty sure the OEM piece was like ~$5?

why would you not want the oil level sensor?

I'm using the block off plate too. Factory part that works great and is cheap.

Hmmmm. I like having an oil level indicator, just in case of catastrophic failure.

doesnt have to be oil pan breaking, it can be a gasket going bad, a seal breaking, a hose bursting, etc. on a long road trip i'd rather know when i need oil than have to check it every time i stop. meh, i know i'll be using one for sure
