I was listening to my youngest son and a couple of his ricer friends discuss the best place to put an oil temperature sensor. His friends thought the best reading would be from the oil in the pan, either using a bung in the pan or replacing the drain plug with the sensor. My son (having owned a VW Cabriolet) said VW put their oil temp sensor right off the oil filter along with the pressure sensor. I thought both were good suggestions although I believe I'd lean towards the sensor teed off with the pressure sensor. What if some road debris got to the oil pan sensor - could be quite the mess! What do you guys think?
