Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Corvette / May 2004Oil temp readings, 1993
The analog oil temp gauge on my '93 reads lower than the digital readout when I step through the various functions by pressing the gauges button on the dash. The difference is 50 degrees or more. The digital readout says the oil temp in a little over 200 after running awhile, but the analog says maybe 150. Also, after starting it takes the analog gauge quite awhile to move off 100, the lowest setting. Is this fixable? Which one is correct? If it's a bad sensor, why are the readings different?

Oil temp is usually > just higher than coolant temp That would be consistent with the digital readings, which show oil temp about 10 degrees higher than the coolant temp. I guess the question now is, are there two different sensors for the two readouts. I can hardly imagine that. I suppose the oil temp analog gauge is just sticky or something. I wonder if that can be fixed at all economically, or if I should just live with it. Most everything else works fine on this car, so I'd like to fix it if it's practical.
