Changing oil pressure switch

Hi, i have a 1994 302, and I'm trying to replace the oil pressure switch. I don't have the means to lift the van though, so I was wondering if it's possible to get that out of there without having to drain the oil? Is it located above the oil level?

Regards. Willem

Hi Willem, no need to drain the oil, the sender is above the oil level. I'm not so familiar with vans but on a pickup you can access from above just fine.
