Oil temp gauge installed

Even if the sensor is uncovered at times, I wouldn't expect the "air" in the crankcase to be that much cooler if any than the oil.

Agree.

I doubt the sensor is not picking a temperature reading because it becomes uncovered.

If the gauge read oil temp, and then suddenly reading cold, the sensor circuit is open.

How LONG does it take to read cold?

A few years ago I was trying to buy a stock 440 Mopar oil pan.

Some sites would list it at 4 qts and some 5 qts. Same pan. After a couple of hours I figured out some listed it with the oil filter capacity included. Maybe it is a marketing thing to may it sound like their product holds more oil.

I bought the 4 qt pan.
