Oil Temperature Sensor Video 

Your engine oil does more than lubricate moving parts. It also helps manage heat, and the oil temperature sensor helps monitor how well that system is working.

This sensor tracks oil temperature and sends that information to the vehicle’s computer or gauge system so the engine can be monitored accurately.

Because oil temperature plays a role in engine protection, this is not a sensor you want to ignore. If the reading is too high, too low, or completely inconsistent, the vehicle may not be giving you a clear picture of what is happening under the hood.
