Install Oil Temperature Gauge on GR86 | Step by Step
How to install an oil temperature/pressure gauge on GR86/BRZ (or actually any car)? Does this $60 gauge kit work? Let's find out.
I already have AEM oil pressure gauge installed on my car and this time I'm installing an external oil temperature gauge. The installation process for them are basically the same. Despite GR86 already having an oil temperature readout on the dashboard (in track mode), the external gauge can still be used to measure oil temperatures at other locations (e.g. I can measure the oil temp before the oil cooler to find out how well the oil cooler works)
The GlowShift kit is much cheaper than the AEM kit but still works well! The installation is straightforward. Enjoy!

Question if car already has a digital display fotr oil temp why do we need a separate one?

15:09 in the video. Basically this process also applies to oil pressure gauge so you can do oil pressure gauge on GR86 following it. As for my personal application, I want to measure the oil temp diff before/after the oil cooler so an extra oil temp gauge is needed.

@@TrackandBuild I see now all that is explained later in the video lol i was busy working and didnt get a chance to finish it up. Thanks
Appreciate the video! Extremely informative and have the same exact car! Already order the same oil cooler as first mod
Thanks for the informative video. Next time when you pull off the pre-cut cable covers, you can twist them so the cable inside is already twisted. Saves you a step and it can sometimes look nicer.
Is that the cooler fitting oil cooler? Looks nice
Great video. Do you have video links for installation of your oil pressure gauge on your gr86. Does the oil pressure sensor fit right onto the Jackson racing sandwich plate, and where about on the plate?
Random question, can you share that AC vent oil pressure gauge? Also where is the sensor for it mounted? I'm probably going for a very similar setup. Thanks in advance!
What sandwich plate did you install? Do you have a link where you bought it? Because I want to install gauges on my gt86 too
Can you show us how you mounted that oil pressure guage on your air vent please.

You run any heat shielding on those cables?
Hey bro how did you figure out which fuse port is constant 12v which is ignition 12v? I’m planing on doing this to my Kia stinger thus I couldn’t copy your diagram due to a different vehicle😅😅. Thanks in advance!

I used a multimeter to do that :)
can you give more information about the gauge that installed on the air vent

I’m confused I’m in track mode and my cluster still doesn’t show the numeric temps of the oil and coolant. What am I doing wrong as to why it won’t show?

It's BRZ right? GR86 shows the numbers but BRZ shows bars.
Where did you get the gauge mount? Trying to do the same thing right now but for oil pressure. Thanks!

Do you have a video installing oil pressure gauge? i looked through your vids and didnt see it, not sure if i missed it.

it's basically the same installation process as this one.

What oil do you run? 0w20 full synthetic or 5w30 full synthetic?

overall a little bit easier because of JDM lol
in my opinion is not a good idea to use teflon tape on engine oil, I tried on a motorcycle and it became a loose and sticky crap...

Actually in the instruction of the sandwich plate it says to use teflon tape and I haven't had any problem with them.
