I took the engine cover off today. Never considered doing so until I read a discussion here about rodents under the hood. The white insulation material behind the cover is breaking down into dust particles. I don't see them settle on the engine, but they shed upon the lightest touch. The cover...

Got it. Mine shows neither, not even a gauge that says low, normal, and high. I use an OBDII adapter to connect to my phone to read the figures from an app.

What I have learned is that you have an actual oil temp to read. Are you reading your temp with an app or a device? Post in thread 'OBD2 Scanner/App: what sensors/values to monitor?' OBD2 Scanner/App: what sensors/values to monitor?

You still have the file and can print more? 🤩

Wow you can make your own! So this is more like a tool/wrench? I have one compact L shaped tool to hold screw bits (for the MINI). Will try this weekend to see if I can remove the access cover without a ramp. 😅

I tried two phones (different Android versions). While the calculated engine load is monitored, it is not always an option to choose from the log. The drive this morning didn't include the engine load as an option so I used vehicle speed. 🤦 An earlier log did include the option but the info...
