oil temp sensor
oil temp sensor
Can anyone send me a picture of where the oil temp sensor is on the car. My gauge isn't reading anything and I'm not sure if its a problem with the sensor or something else and I'm not totally sure where the sensor is.
Well, one would hope whoever installed the gauge also installed an oil temp sensor, but there isn't one from factory, so no 100% way of knowing where it would be in the car...
Most likely, its in the oil filter pedestal (where the oil filter screws onto).

its reading that temp because there is no sensor. some of those multi gauges will display all of the parameters they are programmed to display even if there is no sensor for it. when this is the situation they will simply default to the upper or lower max value or show -----
If your car has an oil temp sensor, it's an aftermarket add-on. I added one to my car, I installed it on a replacement oil filter pedestal. The connector has two wires on it. Hope that helps.
