Oil temp sender for type 4 engine

The main thing is you are looking for a change rather than monitoring the actual temps directly. Unusual temp indicate an unusual condition.

Sump fitment often show a lot lower as most places they fit them mean they are being cooled by the passage of air while traveling. As a result when you are in traffic they show a much higher temp than highway. The dipstick ones are more consistent as they are directly reading the oil temp.

Agreed.  I just want to get back to something consistent.

Did 500 ks over weekend cruising around 95 kph with taco plate sender installed. Max oil temp indicated in motion 100c, but as indicated by Adrian a few degrees more when idling at roadworks. Definitely indicates dipstick sender was faulty, happy with this solution.
