    Oil temp signal.

    On S motors, where's the oil temp signal coming from?


    Thanks.

    I was unaware of one. Just pressure and level.

    Most people I know got it by getting AAs cap for the filter that is pretapped.

    At least US S motors.

      I was talking about euro S50B30 motor. Euro E36 M3s had oil temp gauge, correct?

        Back of the oil filter on euro motors, where the VANOS oil line is on US motors.
