Hello,

Apparently there are two different oil pressure sending units for your vehicle, one with a gauge, and one without, but they are the same component. That is why you are having trouble finding it, you've already found it. In the diagrams down below I have included a wiring diagram for your vehicle's Oil Pressure Sensor Circuit[Highlighted] and an Original Parts Manufacturer[OEM] Part number for your vehicle's sending unit. Please get back to us with how everything turns out. I hope that this helps.

Thanks,
Alex
