Racing Car Oil Temperature Sensor, 12V, 1/8 NPT, Aluminum Brass

Racing Car Oil Temperature Sensor is a compact, 12V universal sensor designed to reliably monitor oil or water temperatures in demanding racing and performance applications. Built with an aluminum housing and brass sensing element, it stands up to engine bay heat and vibration while delivering precise readings to your gauge. The 1/8 NPT male thread makes it a versatile fit for many oil passages, sandwich plates, and coolant routes across both imported and domestic vehicles.

This is a single-wire sensor: one wire provides the signal to the gauge, while the sensor is earthed through the threaded mounting. The 0–150°C (0–300°F) range covers typical engine oil and coolant temperatures, giving you clear insight into heat management during track sessions, spirited daily driving, or DIY builds. Compact at about 4.5 cm in length and weighing 0.03 kg, it’s easy to install in tight spaces without adding bulk.

Model VR-TSU01 is designed for universal compatibility with 1/8 NPT fittings, ensuring broad applicability across vehicles. Made in Mainland China, this sensor is ready for your performance setup and gauge integration.

Benefits & Tips

• Real-time temperature monitoring helps prevent overheating, reducing wear and improving engine longevity during intense driving.
• Pair with aftermarket gauges to compare oil temperature against coolant temperature for quick diagnostics of cooling or lubrication issues.
• Ideal for DIY builds and track-day setups where reliable, space-saving temperature sensing is essential.
