Reply to "Oil Temperature Sender"

Marshall

Wolfgang,

The car is going to the shop early next month and I'll have them look for another sender or even a plugged sender location on the bottom of the sump then.

An interesting thing happened yesterday. I've been driving about 40 miles a day up the parkways on the Maryland and VA sides of the Potomac. On returning home yesterday, I noticed that the needle on my temperature gauge had moved off 0. The gauge is not marked with marks or numbers so no actual temperature is discernible. The very end of the needle can swing into a small red zone.

The needle had swung maybe 1/2 inch out of a possible 2-1/2 inch swing.

Any idea what an "acceptable" needle location on a gauge as this might be? Anywhere not in the red zone. Stop the car if needle goes half way to red.

Any thoughts?
