my tsx tuner is showing me that my oil temp is 80 degrees when warm and the ECT is 180??? do i need a new oil temp senor

How does it read first thing in the morning? They should be close to the same temp.

Then yep, you either need a new sensor or try another temp monitor. When your truck is cold, your ECT and EOT temps should only be a degree apart.
