I don't know if it applies to all years because I don't remember when I did the research for it, but it was really easy on my car. There is a plug where the oil filter is and you can unscrew it and screw in your sensor right there without any issue. I had the sensor installed in about 10 minutes (the wiring was a little more obnoxious haha).

OH.. I meant to say, make sure youget an ELECTRIC oil pressure guage with a sending unit. Not a mechanical one with the little cheap plasit tube you dont want that leaking in your car.

+1 It's always better to go with electronic, They don't jump around as much and they are more accurate because of that.
