Hope you enjoy looking at the sun

Looks good, works well but too bright. Even with the dimmer connected. I ended up using window tint to darken it a bit. If I could darken it further with the sensor itself this would be a 5* product.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Nice sensor bought from Revain!

The device is neat and works well. The wire is small and could be bigger. I installed an oil temperature control diaper in the oil pan of a race car and it worked perfectly. The length of the cable was as advertised, I shortened the power and ground cables that were under the dashboard. There were no problems! Many Thanks.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • The packaging is ugly

Great clinical thermometer! on replacement parts

sensor works great for me. I know there are negative reviews online but I have nothing but good things to say about this product. I've been using it for 1.5 months now, it works perfectly. Make sure you connect all the wires correctly. I soldered mine just in case. Yet again. Great product and appears to be very well built. happy customer

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not the best

Easy installation and great looking sensor.

Easy to install when you can access or adjust the 1/8" NPT fitting on the block. All you need to do is ensure the gauge is in good oil flow for accurate results Display easy to read with very clear instructions, the stepper motor movement at startup looks good especially when multiple units are side by side The only issue with this series is that the sensor brightness (especially night settings) is quite intense and can be distracting depending on the installation Location.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Legacy model

Another great clinical thermometer!

Excellent caliber, deducted a star because it is too expensive. I have purchased Trans Temp and Oil Temp and have been very happy with both so far. I just think they could lower the price by about $20. Since the lighting is too much, I connected the white dimmer wire to the orange memory wire, so every time the car starts it will turn on at the lowest "night" setting. This works great for me. When I need it brighter during the day, I just press the button a few times to bring it up to the…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • There are disadvantages

Instructions were very good. The readings that I was able to measure with another device are within the range of accuracy. The temperature sensor is slightly different from the engine sensor. The thread on one of the sensor lugs for the housing was not completely drilled out. I had to cut the thread properly so the sensor would sit flush. Also you can dim them but still be nice and bright. They need to sell a kit that removes about 25% of the light output. Looks really good on the dashboard…

Pros
  • Build quality
Cons
  • Communication with seller

Good guides! - Parts

I'm towing a 4300 lb boat and trailer in my 2003 Ford Explorer. I wanted to check the engine oil temperature before the oil passed the DeRale engine oil cooler. (also bought from Revain) I installed the sensor on a tee just in front of the radiator. (I have 1/2" nipples and brass tees from Home Depot). If you do the same, be sure to mount the sensor face down so there aren't any bubbles around the sensor, which could lead to false readings. Some people wrote that he had a bright personality…

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
