Sender is easy G. No need to drain the oil, just the filter canister. Get it slightly warmed then loosen the center bolt on the canister, crack open the top and let it drain. The sender is threaded into the filter housing and take a 17mm or a 19mm open end to remove. Only a small amount of oil will come out when you pull the sender, as long as you let the canister drain.
