Autogyro installs an oil sensor in the oil tank as the main sensor for the temp gauge, the uses the oil pump sensor for a warning light. I’ve recently installed an AVMap Engibox which gives more specific readings over the old analog gauge (now I can’t stop looking at it!
).
My question is, does anyone know the typical temperature difference between oil entering the engine (oil pump) and oil exiting the engine (oil tank)? I may install a gauge on the sensor running to the light, but just thought I’d ask first. Obviously if the tank temp is in the green, then I’d think the other should be too.
