what is the name of these sensors?

like the title says, what sensors are these? i need to replace them, since they are brittle and finally snapped. first, one is the sensor on top the radiator next to the cap. it has a single wire coming off it. the other is a similar sensor on the oil pan with a single wire on it. i know there is 2 sensors on the oil pan, and this one is the smaller of the two

hey, i have the same annoying buzzing problem. how do i get it to stop, because i know it's not over heating, my fluid level is fine, and i watch all my gauges when i drive, but it still seems to go off whenever it wants.

The oil temp sensor in the oil pan - IGNORE IT.
It's part of the sub-zero assist crap, and Mazda dealers are informed to remove all of that crap anyways.

The other sensor (in the middle of the oil pan) is the oil level sensor, and this one is important!
