Solo DL w/981 Cayman....oil temp?
 

I have a 2015 981 Cayman S and Solo DL configuration_ECU 991_981_OBDII. It does not show motor oil temps. Do I need to go with the CAN connection to obtain this important data?

Let me go quickly take a look but yes, IIRC.

According to the protocol channel list, it DOES show ECU Oil Temp in the CAN connection list, NOT on the OBD-II list. Not only that, it shows ECU gearbox temp...

I will need to find a file that shows this is working before signing off that it works for sure, but if you have the ability to connect to CAN, there are MANY reasons why I would do that over OBD-II.

CAN is the better connection for speed of data and overall number of channels. It's an easy 4 wire hookup and the cables aren't expensive.

Hmmm, sounds familiar -lol.

I can confirm that with Solo DL an OBD connection on a 981 does not show oil pressure .
