Hopefully just disconnected it, and forgot to re-attach. I would check all around for any sensor that is not plugged in, even under the car where the oil pan and filter is.

Did you ever figure out the issue? Mine shows 0 and wont read oil temp at all after I installed the blower and cam kit. Wondering if maybe mines just disconnected or if there's another problem.

If you have a dry sump engine, the oil temp sensor is screwed into the oil tank, behind the passenger side fender.

I see a lot of shops shortcut and flash a dry sump file onto a wet sump car or vice versa and it will cause this issue.
