A.M. Performance Extra Capacity Baffled Racing Oil Pans

Mike@AMPerformance

We decided against providing a temp sensor bung for a couple reasons. The first of which is that the factory temp sensor is already on the outlet side, which is providing the temperature of the oil in the pan, so the information from a sensor in the pan would be redundant. The second reason is that anytime you add a bung or sensor, we insist that we have a good reason to do so, because no matter how good the design is, a hole with a fastener in it will never be as reliable as solid material.

If you are running a cooler, and want to monitor it's effectiveness/temperature drop, then adding your additional temp sensor inline after the cooler is the proper place for that. In fact, this is just what we have done with our race cars.

Thanks!

Mike

I agree but I'm running two sensors in the AAM oil pan spacer I have now. One for the Defi gauge and the other for the oil cooler fan. I like where they are and it gives me good oil temp control and indication.

Thanks for the info.

Mine's installed now. Wasting time on the forums while I wait for the Ultra Grey to cure a little before refilling my oil. Only complication was removing my old AAM oil pan spacer that's been on the past 14K miles (breaking the old ultra grey to separate the solid spacer from the block). Details at the end of the journal thread if you're looking at the same swap.
