Oil Temp Sender Kit

The Oil Temp Sender Kit from QUICKCAR RACING PRODUCTS is a complete engine monitoring solution designed for serious automotive enthusiasts and race mechanics who demand real-time oil temperature data. This kit combines a precision sender unit, warning light indicator, and wiring harness into one integrated package, eliminating the guesswork when it comes to engine oil temperature management. Whether you're tuning a street car, preparing for track days, or running a high-performance build, accurate oil temperature monitoring is critical to engine longevity and performance.

This kit features a 280-degree Fahrenheit warning threshold, triggering an amber warning light when oil reaches dangerous temperatures that could compromise engine protection or indicate cooling system failure. The sender unit accepts a standard 1/2 inch NPT male connection, allowing installation into factory or aftermarket oil pans, sandwich adapters, or remote filter blocks without modification. The sender operates as a simple electrical switch—when oil temperature exceeds the 280-degree setpoint, circuit closure activates the amber indicator light on your dash, providing immediate visual feedback without requiring complex gauges or digital readouts. This straightforward design eliminates electronic calibration issues and offers rock-solid reliability in harsh engine bay environments.

Mechanics and tuners favor this oil temp sender kit for both OEM restoration and custom builds where space or electrical complexity must be minimized. The 280-degree threshold works ideally for most street and mild-to-moderate performance engines, providing early warning before oil viscosity breakdown or bearing damage occurs. Installation is straightforward: thread the sender into any 1/2 NPT port, run the included wiring to your chosen dash location, and secure the amber warning light where it's visible during driving. This kit is compatible with most domestic and import vehicles with accessible oil circuit ports, making it a versatile choice for engine swaps, restorations, and performance modifications.
