You have a Oil Temp gauge in your car?? I assume you added it, right??? I want to add a Oil Temp gauge to my car. How did you do this and where did you mount it?

rocky Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 He must be talking about his temp. gauge because the oil guage shows the oil pressure not the temp... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazorbackMustang Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Describe "a little on the hot side" please. And no, there is no factory oil temp gauge. If the symbol by the gauge looks like a Mercury thermometer sticking out of a liquid, that's the water temp gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010KonaBlueGT Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 He must be talking about his temp. gauge because the oil guage shows the oil pressure not the temp... Hmm, he had me thinkin' the 2012's had a oil TEMP gauge in 'em. Someone said you can get a digital read-out on oil temp by pushing a secret code series of buttons but never answered back on if it worked with a '10 and later. I hoped he knew..... It'd save me the cost and hassle of mounting a oil temp gauge with my vac/boost gauge (which means I'd need to go with a multi-gauge pod).

Darn it, Phill Back when I had a new edge GT, there was a way to get the odometer readout into diagnostic mode, which gave you access to several things that weren't displayed. I would assume there's something similar available on the new ones but have never seen or heard of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boidster Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 I swear I read something recently about a diagnostic mode on my 2012. I'll see if my Google-fu is strong enough to find it again... Edit: Found this: http://www.mustangworld.com/ourpics/fcar/dtcodes.htm Thread over at AllFordMustangs seems to say that this procedure works in 2011s. I assume we just use the Reset button instead of the odo reset button that the older cars had. No mention of oil temp, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boidster Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 See above. Might not work. Don't think it includes oil temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car is up on jackstands so I'm gonna go out to my garage and try it. I'll use the reset button because that's what I remember someone else saying on either a earlier or later model (I have a '10). I'll let ya know when I return.... Phill (keeping my fingers crossed that I don't fug something up!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boidster Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 LOL don't reset your tune. Or all your radio stations. Maybe switch it to metric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
