Repl Oil Temp Switch 280 Deg

The Repl Oil Temp Switch 280 Deg by Allstar Performance is an essential component for engine builders, performance enthusiasts, and mechanics who demand precise oil temperature monitoring and protection. This replacement oil temperature switch activates at 280 degrees Fahrenheit, making it ideal for high-performance builds, track vehicles, and modified engines where thermal management directly impacts reliability and longevity. Whether you're running a street-strip hybrid, a dedicated road-course platform, or a naturally aspirated engine pushing elevated output, this switch provides the trigger point your cooling system or warning circuits need to prevent catastrophic heat damage.

This 280-degree oil temperature switch threads directly into your engine block or remote oil filter housing, completing an electrical circuit when oil temperature climbs to its setpoint. The switch is engineered with a bimetallic element that responds reliably and repeatably, triggering cooling fans, fuel mixture adjustments, or dashboard warning lights with confidence. Its compact form factor—measuring 3.5 inches in length and weighing just 0.14 pounds—allows installation in tight engine bay configurations without requiring extensive custom fabrication. The Allstar Performance design ensures quick response time, minimizing overshoot and protecting your investment in high-quality oil and precision engine components.

Mechanics and engine builders rely on Allstar's replacement switches to restore OEM functionality or upgrade aging sensors in classic and modern hot rods alike. Installation requires only a compatible threaded port in your block or manifold, making this an economical upgrade that pairs seamlessly with auxiliary cooling systems, custom radiator setups, and electronic fan controllers. This 280-degree switch is particularly popular in carbureted performance builds where mechanical cooling fan engagement must be tuned precisely, and in EFI conversions where accurate thermal data feeds engine management logic. Keep a spare on hand for track days or rebuilds—a failed oil temperature switch leaves you flying blind in the cockpit.
