    Yeah, I 'think' theres a cover that you have to remove (im not sure)..but its right by the drain plug. Takes probably 2 minutes if you have the car in the air

    Edit: heres the DIY:

    I believe you have to remove lower re-enforcement plate (7 good size bolts) to access sensor.

    Any other endorsements for the magnetic drain plug? I've always skipped that, looks like it's time to pony up the $35.

    Every oil change I wipe the end of the drain plug and there's just a tad of debris stuck on it as really fine powder like metal. I think it's very insignificant to the movement of the engine parts because it's so little. But it's nice to know that it's trapping some of it.
