Hey all! The discussions regarding oil temps have been very interesting. Here's a couple of questions that I don't think have been covered. With all the different locations to install a sensor -- sump, dip stick, oil pressure relief boss, the rear galley (Bob Hoover's recommendation) and supposedly the best spot, after the oil cooler -- what exactly are the variances? Some locations are cooler, some hotter. Is there a 20 degree delta or more? When one says max oil temperature is that max temperature reached regardless of measurement location? Or is it, ideally, the temperature of the oil reaching the bearings? Is the delta of sump temperature and post-cooler temperature critical? Just wondering,
