OBD Fusion & Oil Temperature

Is there a way to get a readout in OBD Fusion for oil temp?

When the app isnt connected to the car I can add the oil temp gauge but when I connect to the e46 I get no readings...

Hey, check out this post & thread where the Carly app was used to log oil temp vs cooling temp during warm up period. The interesting result is it takes oil temp a bit longer to reach operating temp than it takes for coolant to reach operating temps.

Btw, this is post #107 in a big cooling system thread.



I finally got everything I need to run Carly on my BMW.

I recorded the ECT temperature, CTS temperature, and the oil temperature while warming up my car in the garage.

The graph above shows that the ECT eventually reaches 97.5C, and that the thermostat only opens once the ECT reaches around 97C.

Below 97C ECT temperature, the thermostat is closed.

Outside temperature is -6F, and in the garage, it is 0F.
