#27 screws into the coolant guide manifold & only coolant contacts it. Pelican has many mistakes in the catalog & I assume this is one also, however I have been getting a P0197 code = oil temp sensor & keep ignoring it because it's a pain to replace either of the sensors that might be causing the code.
