That might be the one...it was in winter when I last looked into it. the dgauge gives you two externals.
It may be stuck in a water jacket next to an oil gallery....water temp in two different places.....who knows. Trying running your durametric with ECU info tab open and call up engine temp and oil temp. The oil one lags behind but this from cold to 180 while idling....I will have to do one driving.
What should one expect to see for oil temperature? I would think itwould lag like I saw and then overtake water temp.
I have massive 2L deep sump so that may sku the readings for a while anyway
