Default Oil Temp with Laser.

Today was the first nice day in a while. I have the front of the cooler blocked off with insulated metal duct tape. Temp is pushing 90 outside. Took a nice long ride. Oil temp on gauge reads constantly at 140-150 degrees. I took several readings with a laser temp reader and engine running.

Remote oil filter- 205 degrees
oil cooler input line - 190 degrees
oil cooler output line - 175 degrees
oil pan next to sending unit - 185 degrees.

This is a new autometer gauge and sending unit.
Old autometer gauge and sending unit never got above 150 degrees also.

Thoughts.......

Thanks

Fred
