An oil temperature sensor, also called oil temperature sensor, is an important component for monitoring the engine oil temperature of a vehicle. This sensor is intended to measure the oil temperature and send critical information to the engine control unit (ECU) or to the vehicle temperature gauge.

The oil temperature sensor contributes to the maintenance of an ideal operating temperature of the oil, which guarantees performance and an effective engine life. It sends information to the vehicle components, which makes it possible to make changes if the oil temperature deviates from the recommended beach.
These sensors are generally installed in the engine or oil crankcase block, where they are immediately submerged in the oil to correctly monitor the temperature. They are essential to prevent oil from becoming too hot, which could lead to a decrease in the efficiency of lubrication, thermal degradation of oil and engine damage.

The data provided by the oil temperature sensor helps drivers monitoring the condition of their engine, especially in intense stress situations, such as high loads or long operating durations. This sensor is essential for the health and general engine performance of a vehicle.
