Typical oil temps?
#21
I have mine in my drain plug. I see about the same temps as everyone else.

If I mount an oil cooler I might see different temps since I'm metering post cooler but pre-components. I can always move it to the pan, I have the fitting. I'd just have to remember when I do an oil change.

Mine is in the pan, unfortunately on the driver side and I'm worried that I see hot oil from the turbo...if its really that hot. Maybe not, who knows?
I think you should put it on the sammitch plate.

I put mine in the rear of the pan, bottom of the sump. The exact temp doesn't really become an issue until your into the failure zone anyway- it's more about watching trends outside of stable. That said, I'll be willing to bet that the oil traveling in that long line and avoiding the combustion area is significantly cooler than the oil that's just been through the combustion process.
