Why have you removed it when fitting the oil cooler,just out of interest as I have an oil cooler on mine already,can you not use them together ?

You can stack them up, I removed the standard oil pressure sensor and put the oil temp in the sump :)

Cool cheers buddy,not sure what I am going to do now
I found a greddy temp sender box mixed in with all the wiring behind my dash,I followed the cable and it seems to be going to the sump,so I might just swap that sensor for the defi one and run it from the sump,is the oil temp as accurate from there?

Not really tbh, I'm trying to get mine in another location if I can. It does work but shows the oil at a lower temp so it might look okay on the guage, but at the filter it could be a lot hotter :) I've learnt to allow for it, my oil is okay upto 150degC so the gauge alarms at 120degC :)

Seems there is plenty of people on the SXOC who have them stacked up with no issues :)
