I've replaced a few of these devices on cars and trucks and they are about $20 each and I usually buy them from Autozone. Nothing like $80. And they are oil tight. By the time you pay shipping and waiting for the item, I bet you have more $ into it than the autopart at autozone. There was one new sensor discussed on this list about a year ago and I think it was made by Honeywell.
