    yep there is a spot for an oil temp sensor on the LS series engines, can also be in with the oil pressure sensor if it has 3 wires going to it could be a twin sensor or depending on model engine could be on either side of the sump...

    I was told one that you need to get the oil hot enough to burn of any moisture that may build up in the crank case. Based on that presumption you'd want to get it over 100° C. How much hotter is the question. I guess it also depends on the oil you are using, a full synthetic can handle more heat than a semi-synthetic or full mineral oil.

    Yeah ive been in both. Top mounts are a lot more fun but for price and engine wear you cant beat a side mount
