Well, good, you found it!

That wire is for the oil pressure sender. There are two units for oil pressure: One is in the back on top of the engine to activate the oil warning light in the dash, the one in your picture is the sender showing the actual pressure.
Underneath the oil pressure sender in your picture is the oil temperature sender.
