Component	Note	Resistance (Ω)
Oil temperature sensor	Resistance between the temperature sensor terminals.	+10 °C = 5620-7310 Ω
		+25 °C = 3500 Ω
		+110 °C = 220-270 Ω

Resistance decreases with increasing temperature.

A test measurement must be taken at both temperatures. This is to establish if the resistance is correct or not.
