Oil temp?

phrede · 09-03-2019, 08:56 AM

Hi

Is it possible to read the oil temperature anywhere? I used to to have it on it's seperate dial on my old F31, but here I only have the coolant temp, which I no idea what to to with

yea I have no idea why they change from oil temperature to coolant temperature...

I wonder if the oil temperature is one of the things that can be found when you unlock the cluster?

Actually what I was thinking as a secondary thing. But hope someone has an idea..

Yes you can read it but you have to go into the hidden menu for the instrument cluster

Works on the full digital cluster, no idea if it works on the part analogue one though in case that's what you have

Very nice! Thanks!
Now, if you could just make that temp readout permanent.
I mean how would anyone know for sure when the engine can be pushed...?
