Oil temperature sensor.
My oil temp gauge always says ''LO'' no matter how hot or cold the engine is... I figure its just a bad sensor. So could anyone tell me where the sensor may be and how much it could cost?

The proportions of that Eckler's photo are really weird. How about this one:

I got this picture from somewhere (not my car), that shows where it's located (above the oil filter and below the ground bolt on the side of the block):

Rockauto has a Standard Products sensor for $75 But the AutoZone part for $20 seems to be a much more reasonable price. The AutoZone pic is the same one shown in the RockAuto listing. I'll bet the Eckler's pic is a generic piece and not specific to a C4 switch. Typical of both Eckler's and Mid-America catalogs.
Good Luck
