um what are you asking about? Your not sure where you should put the probe or what?

 

ive got the positive and ground hooked up but i cant figure out where the oil temp wire connects (white and green) to.

 

Do you need a sender maybe? I don't believe stock motors have any way of monitoring oil temp.

 

you need to put a temp probe some where. oil pan, i think greddy makes a drain plug with the probe in it, etc. Then that goes to a sending unit which connects to your wire.

 

damn i just got the gauge didnt know there was supposed to be a probe thing, thought i could just splice into one of many wires in the engine bay, anyone have an oil temp gauge and how did theyres hook up? if i didnt get a probe or somthin xtra did i get fucked over?

 

autometer doesn't usually come with a probe you have to get them seperate but im pretty sure they sell them. i got defi gauges not an oil temp but everything comes with probes/sensors

 

yeah dude you need to get the probe/sender, drill the oil pan and put it in there

 

anything that measures temperature will have a probe. To measure with.

 

where do you buy this at

 

any shop that sells autometer products should be able to order it for you.

 

Electric gauges come with the sending units. What part number did you buy? Look at these...they list that a sender unit is included.
