Read evidence and context
Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Leading evidence: 'Run threshold value' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run threshold value' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

So I know we can get water (coolant) temp readings from the dash and more accurately accessing the ODBII port and can get other readings like oil pressure. But can we get oil temp as well? Is there a gauge anybody has installed or is there an OBDII reading for it? If it is, then I can't seem to find it in the OBDII software.
TIA!
Asking on the wrong board Dell?
There are lots of things you can read if your OBD II tool can handle custom requests. You can read the following via OBD II:
Engine rpm
Load signal
Air mass
Mass air flow sensor
Vehicle speed
Voltage
Intake air temperature
Engine temperature
Throttle valve angle
Ignition angle
Spec. air mass
Spec. air adaptation
Ambient pressure
Injection time
Exhaust temperature after TWC (three-way catalytic converter) (value calculated by ECM)
Oil temperature
Oxygen sensing, cylinders 1 - 3
Oxygen sensing, cylinders 4 - 6
Adaptation value, area 2, cylinders 1 - 3 (FRA)
Adaptation value, area 2, cylinders 4 - 6 (FRA2)
Adaptation value, area I, cylinders 1 - 3 (TRA)
Adaptation value, area 1, cylinders 4 - 6 (TRA2)
Voltage, oxygen sensor ahead of TWC, cylinders 1 - 3
Voltage, oxygen sensor 2 ahead of TWC, cylinders 4 - 6
Voltage, oxygen sensor after TWC, cylinders 1 - 3
Voltage, oxygen sensor 2 after TWC, cylinders 4 - 6
Trip counter
Time counter after engine start-up
Camshaft position 1 deviation (cylinders 1 - 3)

Definitely posted on the wrong board. I was just too lazy to click over to Renntech when I got that thought in my head. I just posted away without thinking. SO it looks like oil temp is something I can actually read. I am going to be adding an OBD program to my hadheld so I can read some vital stats from the car (temp, etc.) but I have no idea if the software I am looking at will allow for an oil temp reading. I guess I need to just shoot an email off to the company.
By the way, what program is that screenshot of? And a -54 exhaust temp??? Where was that? The North Pole
LOL - screenshot from my PST2. I didn't start my car to take the readings so those are cold overnight. My guess is the exhaust temp after the cat is taken from the (normally heated) O2 sensor and since the car was not running it is a bogus reading.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
