130 oil temperature sender location

[Edward Wang]

Apologies in advance if this is mentioned somewhere.  I searched everywhere on the forum and in the install DVDs and came up with zilch.

 

I understand that the oil pressure sender location is the upper port on the back side of the engine, near the upper pilot side mount.  However, where would a temperature probe go?

Coolant temperature prob attaches at the front of the engine. The only other temperature prob is for the gearbox. https://www.facebook.com/Experimental750ES/photos/p.484351955278601...

Edward, The theory is that the oil temp will closely mirror your coolant temp and that is why it is not monitored.

It is also indirectly shown by the oil pressure. If oil pressure is good, temperature of the synthetic oil is not very relevant

thanks for the info folks
