What sensor is this?

So while changing my oil today, I noticed the sensor pictured was broken, dont know if it's from driving , or if I accidently broke it while making a hole on the oil filter in order to loosen it . sensor is directly behind the sway bar, took my car out for a spin, everything seemed fine, but I did have a check engine code, but that was there already since I have a bad O2 sensor

Looks like the oil pressure sensor to me, but I would check the FSM to be sure.

Just looked at the FSM, page LU-8 on 2007 model.

Looks like the oil pressure switch harness connector in the diagram.

I wouldnt take the risk just ignoring it, especially since it concerns the oil pressure system.

If no one here can advise further, call up the parts dept at the dealership. Maybe they have more specific info about it.

They probably carry them at your local auto parts store and should only be $20 to $30. I wouldn't drive without it because if you lose oil pressure your dummy light will not come on. The chances of that happening are probably slim, but it's not worth the chance.

While your at the auto parts store you should pick up an oil filter wrench so you don't need to jab a screw driver through the filter to remove it.

The extra oil helps in keeping the engine well lubricated.
