Where on earth can I check my Oil Temp in our car?

Search is your friend. Topic has been beaten to death. Hint; secret menu

Or, pick-up an OBD reader and an app for your smartphone and you can pick-up oil, water temps among other things

Or OBDII bluetooth sender and smart 'phone.

I just installed the awron gauge and I absolutely love it.

I got an OBD2 scanner and paired it successfully with my iPhone 5. So far, however, the only available temp output reading appears to be coolant temp. Does anyone know how to get oil and water temps with the above combo?

augerpro · 06-30-2015, 12:36 PM

What app are you using? I use Torque Pro and oil temp is in there.

Torque Pro definitely shows oil temp...

ocN55 · 07-01-2015, 12:11 PM

Is it safe to use a wifi or bluetooth obd II reader if we have a jb4 in our cars?

I don't think Torque Pro Works with iPhone but I will check.

EDIT: Yes, Torque Pro is for Android only. I am using DashCommand. I have a feeling that the output options in all apps is somewhat limited by the automobile manufacturer settings.

Try OEBD-Facile, in premium version should work, but I didn't tested it.

BBMMWW333 · 07-01-2015, 09:15 PM

I give up.. way too much work for oil temp.

SDKevin · 07-02-2015, 08:42 AM

Dump the iphone and get an android?

using the secret menu is not hard. takes about 45 seconds once you memorize the 5 steps. yeah you're probably not going to use it for every drive but its quick and easy enough to do when you know you're going to be pushing it. or want to monitor warm up times.

How difficult was the Awron gauge to install? It's very pricey,but it does have the oil temp on it unlike p3cars vent gauge which only has coolant temp.and just plugs into the OBDII port.

yes it is pricey, i was lucky and got it used though...

install was pretty straight forward, at first i was overwhelmed but i managed it in about an hour. honestly the hardest part for me was reattaching the door sill. it depends how DIY you are, it involves removing a lot of trim, routing cables and playing with the fembody modules. that being said i found a great DIY thread for the M3 awron and that was very helpful.

honestly i love it. i do a lot of 0-60 times and this makes it so much easier than using the cumbersome lap timer app. it includes oil temp, oil pressure, rail press, intake temp, exhaust temp, coolant temp, transmission temp, boost pressure, hp and torque, plus a few more features.

Sad, BMW puts glowing ///M235i logo on dash, pictures of drivetrain on ipad screen, tells you what band is playing your music but can't give car enthusiasts a temp gauge. You have to look for the nested secret menu since the glowing M235i badge is more important than oil temp.

What are you talking about? Mine certainly displays oil temps and it has since I got it last October.

Canaletto · 07-03-2015, 04:54 PM

Another option is the electronic steering wheel.

According to the Turner Motor Sports web site there is no oil temp.If that is wrong I'm glad. I'll buy one. New info. P3cars.com says oil temp is displayed as you say.Checked wrong supplier.
