Right. I don't think it is electrical at this point. I'm pretty sure I am just too low on the
oil level. When moving (RPM above idle) my HV
oil pump pushes enough
oil to the top of the motor so the sensor is uncovered. Therefore I am reading the temp of the air in the oil pan. 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.
