Key Features and Benefits

- Universal 1/8 NPT thread that fits most oil and water ports for easy installation

• Single-wire design that simplifies wiring and connects directly to your gauge

• Brass construction that provides durability and reliable grounding through the threads

• Temperature range from 0-150C / 0-300F for accurate monitoring of both oil and water

• Compact size (4.5 cm length) that fits tight engine bay spaces without interference

• Lightweight design (0.03 kg) that adds no unnecessary weight to your setup

Who Is This For

- Racing and track day enthusiasts who need precise engine temperature monitoring

• Car builders and tuners upgrading their gauge setup with aftermarket sensors

• DIY mechanics looking for a universal replacement for a faulty oil or water temp sensor

• Owners of custom or kit cars that require a reliable and compact temperature sensor

Usage Scenario

Mark just finished installing a new oil cooler in his track-prepped coupe. He needed a reliable way to see if his oil temps were staying safe during hot laps. He screwed this 1/8 NPT sensor into his oil sandwich plate, connected the single wire to his gauge, and grounded it through the thread. Now on the track, he can see his oil temperature rise and fall in real time, giving him the confidence to push harder without worrying about engine damage.

Micro Comparison

Many universal temperature sensors use plastic housings that can crack under heat. This sensor uses a brass body and aluminum construction for better durability and heat resistance. Its single-wire design simplifies installation compared to two-wire sensors, and the 1/8 NPT thread is a common standard that fits most aftermarket gauge ports and sandwich plates.
