The knock sensor is in the engine V under the intake manifolds and coolant crossover pipe. As it requires considerable disassembly and an expensive new gasket set to reach it, I suggest you make very sure there is something wrong with it first. You will have to remove the upper and lower intake manifolds and coolant crossover pipe assembly to reach it. Just because you are receiving a trouble code for it does not mean there is anything wrong with it. This sensor shares a circuit with other components that often will set a "ghost" trouble code.

The cam sensor on a 1996 Mercury Villager cost about $35 to $40. The sensor is actually manufactured by a Nissan subsidiary.
That is incorporated with the latch assembly.
The Vehicle Speed Sensor on the 1996 Mercury Villager is located on the back of the transmission (as you look at the vehicle from the front) on top of the transmission with a pair of wires leading away from it... best to reach it from under the vehicle.
The indicator was not or cant be reset.
They are mostly identical, yes.
Knock sensor codes on this vehicle are meaningless, the knock sensor does nothing unless the engine knocks. If you have this code there is more than likely a problem in one of the other emission-related devices, which often triggers this code first. My advice is to ignore it until another code pops up giving you more information about where to look. Do not replace the knock sensor, it will be expensive and will not stop the code from reappearing.
There is only one, in the engine "v" under the intake manifolds and coolant crossover tube.
5W-30 is the preferred oil ( according to the 1996 Mercury Villager Owner Guide )

Where is the Knock Sensor located on a 1996 Oldsmobile Aurora?
No, it is not.
Yes, exactly the same.
