So, 210 degrees
is the starting point and the temps go up from
there until the oil finally reaches the cooler
again. Is anyone measuring the
oil
temp leaving the engine?
I used to measure temps of both coolant and
oil before and after the coolers and found that I was getting 36F delta T on the
coolant and 9F delta T on the oil. I was measuring oil temps at the stock oil
filter location (where I put an adapter block) which is after the filter &
cooler, and in the sump. So the oil temps in the engine are not out of a safe
operating range.
I currently don't measure the sump oil temps, only because the
EM2 only came with 2 temp sensors and my old ones are not compatible. I need to
order 2 more VDO sensors as I'd like to keep an eye on these as they do give
extra info. Such as the delta T on my coolant dropped after I had some hail
damage to the fins making them less efficient (even after straightening)(plan to
replace them before flying to Florida)
Does anybody on the list have the part # for the EM2 VDO temp
sensors?
