Me too!

the wire that goes to the sensor was the same one as on the 6 wiring. Anyone know what colour the wire should be?

I do not know it was on the engine already

will the sender off the 6 fit?

suspect engine as out of a WB holden. Must be light sender?

Those wires you lengthened, they did find the right receptacle?

Pretty sure they are that's why I tried to confirm oil sensor wire colour
