Also I like to use magnetic drain bolts. I was looking at your pic#23 and remembered that there's actually 2 drain bolts. Has anyone tried using the far left bolt as the oil temp sender location instead?

thanks!
it's possible the thread size are different. You can remove it and check..you won't spill much coolant..may be like 2 drops at most.
As for the drain bolts..they are the same size... M14x1.25 ...so technically he could have installed the sensor on the other plug. It would make sense to do this and reserve this plug for oil change..it's more accessible.
