Oil Temp Sensor
Any one have the p/n to the oil temp sensor located next to the oil filter on a 99 FRC?? I keep getting temp readings 30-40 degrees below engine temps, or low oil temp in the DIC.
Thanks

is this specific to a 99 or is this also compliant with an 01? Also, when taking out the old sensor, i guess i should expect some oil to leak out? is this going to be a lot or just a little bit? THANKS!

I wish I could tell you. Went to NAPA they gave me what they thought was the right sensor, raised the car...wrong sensor. Went to the dealership, said there were two in So Cal, both in L.A. said it would be in the next day. I forgot to ask him the next day of what month. Still waiting on the sensor!!
If the engine is cold I don't think there will be much of a leak, hopefully not. Not only am I getting a low temp, I'm also getting a low oil level. Checks fine, but I think the same sensor handles both issues.

Thanks. This will be the third different sensor thats gone bad in the last 1500 miles. Never had any issues with them before. Car only has 36k on it. Engine only has 1500 miles on it.
