Oil Pressure Switch for 2004-2008 Mazda RX-8 - Walker 256-1290

Monitor engine lubrication pressure with the Walker Products Engine Oil Pressure Switch 256-1290, an OE Replacement switch that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2008 Mazda RX-8 (All engines). It senses oil pressure in the lubrication system and triggers a dashboard warning light or feeds a signal to the ECU when pressure falls below safe operating thresholds, giving early warning of a low-oil condition.

• OE Replacement calibration: matches original specifications for pressure activation point, thread pitch, and electrical response.
• Direct OE fit: threads into the factory location—typically the engine block or oil filter housing—using original threads and connectors with no modifications.
• Built for harsh conditions: made with high-temperature and oil-resistant materials to resist heat, oil exposure, and vibration.
• Single spade terminal: one male spade terminal with a single female connector; housing is black.

Signs this switch may need replacing include an oil light that flickers, false warnings, or no signal under an actual low-pressure condition. Diagnose the cause of any oil-pressure warning before replacing, since the same symptom can have other sources; if a failed pressure switch is the cause, this unit replaces it. Country of origin: China.

Interchange: none listed. Manufacturer part number 256-1290 (also 2561290).
