Keep an eye on engine lubrication with the Walker Products Engine Oil Pressure Switch 256-1030 (also written 2561030), an OE-replacement switch that monitors oil pressure and signals the ECU or dashboard warning light when levels fall below safe operating thresholds. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of 2016-2021 Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM applications, including the 2017 Chrysler 200, 2017-2019 Chrysler 300, 2017-2018 Chrysler Pacifica, 2017-2019 Dodge Challenger and Charger, 2016-2018 Dodge Durango, 2017-2018 Jeep Cherokee, 2016-2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2017-2018 Jeep Wrangler, 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK, 2017-2018 RAM 1500/2500/3500/4500/5500, 2019 RAM 1500 Classic, and 2017-2021 RAM ProMaster 1500/2500/3500 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine coverage.

  • OE-replacement calibration: matches original specs for pressure activation point, thread pitch, and electrical response.
  • Monitors oil pressure: activates the dashboard warning or ECU input when oil pressure drops below safe operating thresholds.
  • Built for harsh conditions: made to resist high temperatures, oil exposure, and vibration in demanding engine environments.
  • Exact OE fit: threads directly into the factory location using original threads and connectors—no modifications required.

If a failed oil pressure switch is behind a flickering oil light, false warnings, or a missing signal, this unit replaces it to help restore accurate pressure monitoring. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
