That can be changed, I'm sure someone here has done it.

Oil wise: I always check the oil sending unit and occasionally clean it out with a little bit of fuel or brake cleaner. I had one stick on me once, and I had one where wires went bad and resistance reduced the reading. Changing it if you are base lining the maintenance of the car is not a bad idea.
