I have never understood why the manufacturer would plumb the oil temp
sender after the cooler, it gives a false reading. If the cooler was
very efficient it could shed 50+ degrees. So lets say the after cooler
temp was 220 degrees after a long climb out during hot weather, that
would mean the actual oil temp in the pan of the motor was 270+. Funny
the FAA lets the certified planes get away with it plumbed that way.


Thats how it is in our Mazda's... we measure the coolant temp before the
rad, but the oil temp AFTER the cooler.

What makes you think someone is "getting away" with something?
