I changed my oil tonight and tried to follow the oil level check procedure, but I don't have any oil temperature indication on my dash. I pressed the data button, which is the only button to try and press, but nothing. Is this normal? Does this mean my dash or oil pressure gauge are shot?
@gobble, Hi! My Gen1 SR3 won’t show oil temp until it reaches 45 Centigrade. It’s blank at first and then is intermittent flashing 45 irregularly until the temp is above 45 and then it stays solid and will display the correct temp. My dash reads in Centigrade, looks like yours is Fahrenheit, I wasn’t aware Radical made a dash that read in Fahrenheit. I was told by Spring Mountain that these clusters fail quite frequently which is one reason people commonly remove them to install an AIM or racepak dash. My oil temp sender is in the bottom of the dry sump tank. I would check the sender and wiring as well.
Thanks that's helpful. I likely haven't had the car hot enough to get to that temperature. Hopefully I can check this one off the list.
yes my old gen 1 didn't show oil temp till it got warmed up..
As everyone has says neither water or oil temp will read until something like 40/45° C.
Make sure when you first turn it on that the dash does the countdown and there are digits in all of the right places. Hope that makes sense...
also so if you want to test it you should be able to remove the cable from the sender and test using a resistor. I’d have to do the math to see which type...
