Re: Where to put oil temp sender...false reading
Wobble,
Thanks for the detailed information. It is appreciated.
More questions.
What size oil lines are you using?
What size oil filter?
Are you thermostatically controlling oil temp at the filter mount or by any other means?

No thermostatic control as we do not see extreme differences in water temp down here on the Gulf Coast. I am sure I would have to use one if I was further north. But then I might not need such a big oil cooler
In any case I try and get the oil above 212* anytime I run it.
BTW engine water temp runs 150-160* on a 140* t-stat.

O.K.; That's what I get for commenting. And now I know; If there are TWO ways to do something, and you ask which way is right, twenty experts will come back with TWENTY different ways to do one of those TWO things. To quote Gilda Radner, "Nevermind". --- Jer

572 na 750hp pad mounted temp sender 210* beating it stupid (10 miles wot) but we have 16 quart pans with 10 quarts in it & 3" therm controlled coolers set to open @ 180*,
builder told me to subtract 10-20* for sump temp. because pump adds heat..
agree your oil temp is way too high just my .02

Re: Where to put oil temp sender...false reading
We got two threads covering the same territory here. From now on (and the last couple) my comments in this area will be in the "what size oil cooler "thread. --- Jer
