Figured out my oil light issue, grabbed a replacement sensor and now I can't get to it. Stuck above the filter housing and my hands aren't small enough for this job. Workarounds?

Been there, man. Those sensor spots are made for people with baby hands or magic tools that don't exist LOL. Always gotta use a flex-head ratchet and a wobble extension. Trust me, it's gonna make life a whole lot easier for you.

I finally got it done! The flex-head ratchet and a wobble extension were exactly what the doctor ordered. That little maneuver was a real pain in the neck, but the oil light is gone and it feels like a weight off my shoulders. Thanks for your help!
