Don't believe so. Oil flow. Pump, cooler, filter, block passages, then back into the pan. The sensor is reading the oil coming back from the cooler.

The ECU starts to pull timing around 240F until 280F limp mode. That's why the car feels sluggish.

Couple of things can be done. Vented hood, oil pan spacer, CJM oil pan. The last 2 will increase oil capacity. Install an oil pressure gauge to track your oil pressure. The stock pump will read over 100 psi at high rpm's. Also a water temp gauge. TrackSpec hood vents lower my oil temps and water temps. I have the Z1 34 row oil cooler and a rare AM Perf. oil pan. Only about 20 of them made.
