The oil temperature sensor monitors engine oil temperature within the oil pan, feeding live data to the ECU on Land Rover's 2.7 Td6 and 3.6 Td8 diesel engines. This data is used to manage engine protection strategies, transmission behaviour, and oil condition warnings. A faulty sensor can trigger incorrect warning lights, cause erratic instrument cluster readings, or prevent the engine management system from accurately tracking oil degradation. Key Features Mounted in the oil pan - measures oil temperature directly at the sump rather than via a remote sender Designed to OEM specification for the 2.7 Td6 and 3.6 Td8 diesel engines Direct replacement requiring no modification; check sump plug and associated wiring connector condition during installation One sensor required per vehicle; inspect the wiring loom for heat damage or corrosion at the same time Vehicle Fitment Fits Discovery 3 (2005–2009) and Discovery 4 (2010–2016) Td6 2.7, Range Rover (2002–2012) Td8 3.6, and Range Rover Sport (2005–2013) Td6 2.7 and Td8 3.6 diesel variants, up to the chassis numbers specified.
