Full Version: Oil Temp Sesor Location
I'm going to put an oil cooler on my car and also want an oil temp gauge. Where do you guys think the best location for the sensor is before the oil cooleer or after. What do you think?
Before the cooler will give you a more realistic idea of what the actual oil temp is in the engine.
Side note, probably not worth the money but it would be interesting to have a sender and gauge for both before and after the oil cooler to see how much the temp drops.

2 electric sensors, one gauge, spdt switch?
