Oil Cooler and Engine Reliability

Ew. You are right. In the event of an overheat the safer number to go by should be the higher number... the outlet temperature.

Maybe the point of having it at the inlet would be more for gauging that the engine as it reaches operating temperature as it heats up--in that case you would want to go by the lower temperature number at the inlet.

I'm not saying Nissan did wrong by installing the sensor at the inlet, its not the point since its also a valid location.

When I blew the VVEL (oil starve) I think the gauge was saying about 280-285F after , now imagine how Hot it actually was !! no good hehe..
