Oil galley temp reading low

Hi,

installing my oil cooler i hooked up my greedy style oil temp meter using the oil galley plug method. What i found out later, this location is not really suitable for accurate temp readings, see below.

Sensor mounted in the galley plug using an adaptor (compared to the Open Flash Tablet readings):

204F equals to 95C, but the gauge shows 87C

Thinking that the gauge our the sender could be inaccurate, i´ve replaced the stock oil press switch with the sensor, and hey presto!..temps are now correct. (they should be, as the stock sensor where the OFT gets the reading is next to it).
See:


Gauge sensor instead of the switch:


Switch in the galley plug:


And finally, my bit of gangsta oil cooler sandwich plate install But it works.
