Yes. We can definitely help with that. It is going to be next to the alternator, but I will attach the info that you need to find it quickly.

Also, here are a couple guides that will help with oil pressure issues. I am not sure you need them but if you or someone else does, it has good info.

Below you will find the location of the sensor, the wiring callouts, and the process from the manual on how to replace it.

Please run through this info and let us know if you have other questions. Thanks

Is this on the driver or passenger side? Thanks

This appears to be on the passenger side. The way to tell is to take this picture and try and stand in the same place the picture is oriented.

As you will see in the upper left corner of the picture, the arrow is pointing to the front of the vehicle.

So that means you are looking at the engine from the prospective of the passenger side.

Also, this sensor is on the inboard side of the alternator. As you can see it looks like you are looking through the alternator in order to see the sensor.

Because my 2013 Dodge Charger has two engine oil sensors, and this design is not correct at all. When the warning appears on the screen, we don't know if it means the oil pressure or the oil temperature. It is totally complicated.

This is correct, the temperature sensor is on top of the oil filter.
