I am not sure this is a normal failure mode but my oil temp in the middle of a flight went from reading 190 to 145 and then stayed there.
I found the nut holding the sender wire ring terminal loose. I tightened it up thinking problem solved. Well next flight oil temperature still reading abnormally low basically 50 degrees lower than what is actual.
At this point I am guessing an new sender is in order, it has never given me any issues.
Has anyone seen this failure mode before, what did you find was the problem. I also have a CHT that has started to act funny, checked that it was seated in the mount but at this point it is very intermittent.
Thanks for any suggestions.
