Merk, This is all I was going by. Rock auto lists it as an oil temp sensor, we all know Rock auto is always right!
If you look at the enlarged picture, it looks pretty much like the in pan oil level sensor. Its just a guess at this point.
What they are listing as the oil temperature sensor looks exactly like the coolant temperature sensor. Exactly. In fact, I'm not sure there is a dedicated oil temperature sensor on that engine. The reading on the scan tool may be a calculation based on coolant temp and oil pressure.
