Greetings,

Problem - in the last couple of days, oil temp is reading very high, between 220-260F. Has typically read around 180-210 max, so it's a bit concerning.

Only recent work is replacement of OD solenoid with dremeled out. Problem appeared before this work.

Coolant temp reading is normal (hair below 9am) and cooling appears to be working - top hose is too hot to hold on to, lower hose is warm, but can be held while engine is running fully hot (i.e. while oil temp shows 260F). Coolant gauge has been de-liared, and shows actual coolant temp, unmolested by regulator.

Oil pressure appears normal, 2 bar at idle 900 RPM, 4+ bar at 4000 RPM.

Oil is 10W-30 Mobil 1 Full Synth; when problem appeared, oil was at -1/2 Q.; filled now.

All gauges appear to be working correctly, so I'm wondering where to start...

I've read in another post that the senders can go bad, so I'm wondering if they send bad info, or simply stop working...? Anyway, some suggestions from the collective brilliance of the board...

Thanks,

Lanval
