The oil pressure sensor screws into the block. It is mounted close to the oil filter and should be easy to reach.
The oil pressure switch/sender on my 2003 Trailblzer, (L6 engine) is directly above the oil filter. It threads in from the passenger side. It is a pain to get to, even with a 1-1/16" deep-well socket.

A high oil pressure reading on a 2004 Nissan Titan could be due to several factors, including a faulty oil pressure sending unit, using the wrong viscosity oil, or a clogged oil filter. Additionally, excessive engine wear or a malfunctioning oil pump may also contribute to increased pressure. It’s important to diagnose the issue promptly, as sustained high oil pressure can lead to engine damage. Consulting a mechanic for a thorough inspection is advisable.

To determine if the oil pressure is bad on a 2004 Tahoe, monitor the oil pressure gauge on the dashboard—if it consistently reads low or fluctuates erratically, it may indicate a problem. Additionally, listen for unusual engine noises, such as tapping or knocking, which can signal insufficient oil pressure. Checking for oil leaks and ensuring the oil level is adequate can also help diagnose the issue. If you suspect a problem, it's advisable to consult a mechanic for a thorough inspection.

You could very well have a blown head gasket. I would advise getting it to your dealer and have it checked asap.
