Not aware of an oil temp’ sender, just pressure. Of course could be wrong.

Is the oil level sensor not combined with the oil temp sensor?.
This should be at the front of the lower oil pain i think.

It’s not listed as a temperature sensor in the parts, just oil level

There must be one somewhere, I was playing with the hidden menu today and it tells you the oil temperature,

The only place I can find it It mentioned in the TIS is that appears to be combined with the oil pressure sensor as an all in one.
