Reading the temp in the oil pan is actually a much better and quicker way to see what is going on inside of the engine......

Reading the oil temp on the way back to the motor has given the oil a chance to cool a bit.....

And if it's after the oil cooler it will be 15*- 25*degrees cooler going back into the motor.....

So we read it in the pan and going back into the motor.....

But only when we look at the gauges.....
