And on the second, if you will plug in a Scangauge or equivalent that will read actual water temps you'll see that the LED gauge is virtualy worthless except at extremes. This has nothing to do with an oil cooler. They all work this way. ... 2 different sensors discussed here...Maybe you meant something else..??
Actually, that clears things up. I assumed you meant the outside air temperature.

My guess is that the outside air sensor must be in front of the radiator on the passenger side. I assumed that the heat coming off the cooler was getting interpreted as outside air temp. That might explain why your driver side mount does not screw with the sensor. Or the dealership ran a line across the sensor. I can only speculate.

And, for what its worth, I can confirm that the outside air temp gauge only goes up to 142 degrees.

Thanks for clearing that up.
