Oil temp sender

[GS247]

I just picked up some new gauges and im not sure where to install an oil temp sender. the only place that i see is in the stock location by the oil filter. Is there a better place?

Read the second post. Maybe it will help you. I'm not sure. Here's a free anyway.


So where does Fords computer get oil temp

I'd probably drill and tap the HPOP cover, this oil would be post cooler so would be a great place to take a reading, someone might have a better location though.

There are metal oil filter caps available with a threaded plug, maybe the sensor would work there.
On other vehicles I have used the oil drain plug.
