So, = 210 degrees=20 is the starting point and the temps go up from

there until the oil finally reaches the cooler = again. Is anyone measuring the

oil=20 temp leaving the engine?

I used to measure temps of both = coolant and=20 oil before and after the coolers and found that I was getting 36F delta = T on the=20 coolant and 9F delta T on the oil. I was measuring oil temps at the = stock oil=20 filter location (where I put an adapter block) which is after the filter = &=20 cooler, and in the sump. So the oil temps in the engine are not out of a = safe=20 operating range.

I currently don't measure the sump oil temps, only = because the=20 EM2 only came with 2 temp sensors and my old ones are not compatible. I = need to=20 order 2 more VDO sensors as I'd like to keep an eye on these as they do = give=20 extra info. Such as the delta T on my coolant dropped after I had some = hail=20 damage to the fins making them less efficient (even after = straightening)(plan to=20 replace them before flying to Florida)

Does anybody on the list have the part # for the = EM2 VDO temp=20 sensors?
