Over the years I have been wondering what my oil temps are, since I don't run the stock or any oil cooler. I have read a lot of threads where some say it's nessesary to run the stock oil cooler or after a machanical failure a external cooler. Then some don't think a oil cooler is needed at all. The argument has been "GM wouldn't spend extra money if it wasn't needed " and others say " I haven't run one in years and had no issues ". But I haven't read a single thread that has documented prove whether it's needed or not. I am not trying to bring up an old debate, I am just looking for the right way to monitor oil temps.
So what I plan on doing is weld a bung on the side of the pan just below the oil pickup tube. Would this be the best place to accurately monitor my oil temps ?
Thanks, Kyle.
