How hard is it to replace the oil level sensor?
I've owned my car for almost a year now and I've already changed the oil like 7 times! That stupid "low oil add oil" message always popping on my dashboard, and worst thing is I don't have oil stick in the car there's no place for it anyway! I thought they come like this when I first bought it, it's an LFX so there should be one.
Anyway I bought this sensor and took it to random garage and they said the little shit requires taking out half of the engine to replace it, is that true? Any idea how to replace it? |

P.s I checked for leaks and there was none, still I know the risk of driving a car with no oil and I always postpone doing this due to multiple jobs and barely have any time to find someone decent to fix it, I live outside the US so it ain't easy around here

It has to have a dipstick somewhere. It should be near the filter housing.

Unless someone removed it, it should have a dipstick.
See #8 on pages 10-6 & 10-7; https://my.chevrolet.com/content/dam...aro_owners.pdf |

Guys I'm aware of that now I did look around for the housing and couldn't find it either so figured it was broken or something, now anyone know anything about changing that sensor?
