Oil temperature

[Tipo874]

Where is a good spot to place an oil temp sensor? Is it a good idea to tee it off of the pressure gauge or to modify the oil tank for a bung?

Thanks, David

A t-fitting at the oil pressure sending unit would be simple and effective.

Do you want to measure the temp coming out of the engine, or the temp in the tank or, know the temp of the oil entering the engine, as there will be vast differences at each point, and why do you want to. On my race cars, we measure the temp before the cooler and in the tank.

Thanks everyone. I am going with the tee fitting from the oil pressure sending unit location.
