Oil temp sensor
I first installed my oils temp sensor (1/8) NPT T'd off from where the stock oil pressure sensor is. I found this to be problematic getting it to read properly becuase the sensor was deadheaded in the T and dint gave oil passing over it. I moved it last week to the oil pan where the low oil warning sensor goes. I actually drilled out the plastic sensor and tapped it for the 1/8 NPT oil temp sensor. Here it will sit in a contstant flow off oil and will reflect the true oil temp. As far as the low oil warning I just put a piece of wire in the plug to complete the circuit so to not get the low oil warning.
