Inferred vs Actual Oil Temperature - Results

[D/\rK•650]

Thank you for posting this and all the information you've provided. It crazy because I was wondering this just the other day. Im driving and thinking how accurate is this oil temp reading? Great job

So I wondered are the rest of the gauge readings direct? Only oil temp is computer inferred?

We had to calibrate every oil temperature sensor we purchased. For our marine racing engines that was usually autometer or gaffrig. A variance of 5 degrees from actual was common - either way 9BTW just like engine hp from mass produced engines varies 5%) anyway, even once calibrated temperature gauges relying on sensors, wiring and gauges were and I suspect still are prone to loosing their reliability. I'd be willing to bet a lot that an inferred computed modelled temperature was more accurate.
