Oil Temperature Observations

[Ruan]

IMHO you should take the oil temperature from the place just before it goes around the engine, no point in knowing a temperature of something after it's done it's work in the sump... It's not cooled until after it's been past the oil pump anyway!!! The temperature as it goes on it's route is what you want to know...

In the same way as I don't want to know a post turbine exhaust gas temperature, I want to know what temperature the turbine wheel and cylinder head is being raped with...
