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

I trust the sending unit is in the oil pan with the 'probe' fully immersed in oil.
Did you install it with thread sealing tape or thread sealer of some kind? If so, it may not be properly grounded.
