Your OBDLink MX+ is showing engine oil temperature 177.8 F which is too low if the engine is fully warmed up. Oil temperature leaving the engine and entering a cooler should be above 212, ideally 220-230 F to evaporate condensation in the crankcase. Your oil temperature is also less than coolant temperature, 186.8 F, which doesn't make sense if this is oil temperature exiting an oil/coolant heat exchanger. Why would Toyota measure coolant or oil temperature at the exit of a radiator or heat exchanger? When a technician wants to perform diagnostics, isn't it better to measure coolant and oil temperature exiting the engine block?

Have you observed an engine oil temperature reading in the 220 to 230 F range?

I know this little scanner isn’t the perfect fit for everyone’s application but it fit the bill for me. As for how or why the oil temps are the way they are I don’t know, all I know is when I cross reference the oil temps on the scanner with a thermal gun reading the oil pan it’s within an acceptable range for me.
The transmission pan temps are Spot On between the scanner and the thermal gun, the engine oil pan temps can be up to 5-20 degrees hotter than the scanner. But that’s still good info because it gives me a range.
Below are two pics from tonight.

Edit: found the post. Unfortunately the person who posted it hasn’t been active here in awhile.
Scan Gauge II Codes..New stuff

I was out west in March and this thing is a life saver; climbing trails you can get all your temps at a glance.
