If you didn’t feel ripped off paying for it is after market.
The dealer list price was $27.50 last time I bought some. The pressure settings have been revised with a significant dead band between closing and opening. They close at 1.05 bar (easy to get cold engine) and don’t open until .75 Bar. This eliminates the falsies. If you can’t maintain .75 bar ( ~10.5 psi) at 2,000 rpm you need to know.

Thanks guys. How do I tell if my sensor is an aftermarket one or one of the genuine resigned ones?
I do have a spare oil cooler O ring kicking around somewhere, I'll dig it out. Good tip on the PB blaster. I snapped a stud replacing the other header... (although the 2/4 header hardware looks much less corroded and I've already broke 3 of the 4 nuts loose)
