When stopped at an idle, enough oil comes back down into the pan to cover the sensor so it goes back up on the gauge. I'm going to put more oil in to see how that works. If it still isn't working well, I'll start chasing electrical gremlins. It is pretty much plug and play. Each end of the supplied cable has push and click connectors.
I spoke to Canton. They said this is an 8 qt pan. Minus what would go in the filter. |
So, I take it then that 'system capacity' is 8 quarts - ~7 in the pan and the rest in the filter. You were running 2 quarts under that, so hopefully this solves the problem and gets the gauge reading as it should.
