The second reason is that anytime you add a bung or sensor, we insist that we have a good reason to do so, because no matter how good the design is, a hole with a fastener in it will never be as reliable as solid material.

If you are running a cooler, and want to monitor it's effectiveness/temperature drop, then adding your additional temp sensor in-line after the cooler is the proper place for that. In fact, this is just what we have done with our race cars.

Thanks!

I agree but I'm running two sensors in the AAM oil pan spacer I have now. One for the Defi gauge and the other for the oil cooler fan. I like where they are and it gives me good oil temp control and indication.

Thanks for the info.
