Oil Cooler Structural Failure

Patrik,
I would recommend getting an oil pressure sender that corresponds with the settings on your MGL. I do not believe the readings you get with a sender that is different from your MGL will be linear. At least that was my experience when I tried a different sender when troubleshooting erroneous readings.

I just changed the full-scale reading from 145 to 72 psi and it appears to read just half of what it did before. I don't see why the full-scale setting should affect linearity. (The resistance setting definitely will though, but as long as you actually set it to the correct value it should be fine.)

Get one of these test units to verify your oil pressure readings.

Where is an OEM quality oil cooler available? Not a chineseium knock off.
