Would anyone know where would be the best location to install a oil temperature sender? Is there a test port on our 3800 V6 engines?

You could probably T off of the oil sending unit just above the oil filter.

Re: Where to install oil temperature sensor?
X3 , thats where I plan on doing. Or I might T it when going into my turbo since I have to tee for it so I might just tee it before the turbo so I don't have alot of fitting off the front cover.08' L76 6.0L 4X4 Chevy EXT.Cab LTZ Vortec MAX with Snug top cover, Dynomax exhaust,Hptuners& K&N intake

Re: Where to install oil temperature sensor?
sorry to hijack, but can i replace the original oil pressure sender with an aftermarket for a gauge with no problems? i believe i unplugged it and it ran fine. i j/ didn't know if it went to the computer at all.Comment

Re: Where to install oil temperature sensor?
by t-ing off, do you mean tapping the oil pressure sensor? can I have both oil temperature and oil pressure readings?99 Camaro RS - 3.8L V6<br /><br />Modifications<br />Exhaust: Magnaflow OBD-II High-flow Catalytic converter / Magnaflow catback exhaust<br />Intake: Shaved Airlid / 3\" PVC tub<br />Suspension: V8 springs / DeCarbon shocks / 32mm 1LE swaybar / 19mm rear swaybarComment

Re: Where to install oil temperature sensor?
no you dont tap the pressusre sensor. you take off the pressure sensor screw in a pipe T so now you have two oil outputs for both the pressure sensor and oil temperature sensor.Originally posted by benoh with camaro View PostComment
