Oil level sender location for oil temp probe?
Hi all,
I have an oil temp sensor fitting on my drain plug. But it's sometimes a pita to remove the wire. Now that I have the pan off, I was thinking of drilling and tapping a more permanent spot for the sensor.
I have a cover plate for the oil level sender which I can't use on my build and I was thinking of tapping that instead of putting a hole in the pan.
It's few inches higher than the drain plug but I'm assuming it would be covered in oil there. Does that seem like a reasonable spot? Or will it go dry on curves and not give a good reading?
