RE: Oil Temperature

[djones@lanvision.com]

Finally, thanks.  That's exactly what was happening.  It would heat up but
then if I was driving slowly the temperature would get to 122 degrees then
go to the 3 dashes.  Thanks for the explanation.

		Actually ... it's not timed.
		   The MFA will not report any oil temperature until the oil
reaches 122
		degrees, F. 122 is sort of the bottom of this
high-temperature sensor's
		range, so the three dashes mean <122 degrees.
