If this will fit in, why not just use an open-end 19mm wrench?
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

About 3 weeks ago, I was driving home from work, ~35 mph, just a normal cruise. Heard a chime and noticed an oil pressure warning, and saw that the gauge read 0! Before I could pull over, within about 4 or 5 seconds, gauge popped back up and warning went away.
Have driven the car every day since, no issue, until yesterday, same thing happened. When gauge needle popped back up from 0, it seemed normal except occasionally would peg above the top (5) mark.
Has anyone had experience with the pressure sensor failing? I can't believe that I am really losing pressure temporarily like that.
Car is a 2002 C4S with 70K on it. Oil level is full.

These sensors are JUNK and they belong to something in WWII...
Ours are similar to this one. See how mechanical and delicate it is?

This is a very common problem, Ashai found you a great DIY. We actually have two different ones available. For more information and pricing

Easy DIY. Just do a search. Cheap part as well. Be thankful its just the crappy sending unit and not CEF. Great car, BTW. The C4S models are the best of both worlds.
I noticed that the link sent by Ahsai shows the guy modified a wrench by cutting it a bit more open. If this will fit in, why not just use an open-end 19mm wrench?
The tool combo in post #13 of that thread is the easiest. A crowfoot wrench ($10 for a whole metric set from harborfreight) + u-joint + long extension.
