Dashlogic EOT not the same with DIC
Anyone else have this issue with Dashlogic? I just set Dashlogic to read ECT and EOT and the engine oil temps are off 6-12* from the DIC. I do have the latest beta software v2.2.

Yes, this has been discussed many times. Dashlogic reads from the ECU. ECU reports calculated oil temp. The oil temp sensor is wired right to dash, and dash displays the sensor. Strange how GM set it up, so the car doesn't even know the oil temp besides the calculated one.
That is the only one like that, the rest are sensors to the ECU.

Yep.
I can only assume it was easier or cheaper for them to do that way, somehow..? I never really understood why either.

I have tried to fix it with math but the temp difference never seems to be the same twice so it's like shooting for a moving target; eventually I just set it up to read a little high no matter what.
