Not sure if this is the right forum for this question, but it's more likely to be of interest to the people here than to nearly anyone else. So here goes.
I have a 2014 GT Premium with the track package as some of you guys know. I have the Scantool OBDLink MX and the Torque Pro application.
Torque Pro includes predefined manufacturer-specific code sets that you can activate in order to gain access to some of the manufacturer-specific data streams. You can also enter your own codes and formulae if you know them.
My link to the system is working fine, and some of the manufacturer-specific streams seem to be accessible. However, it seems that the oil temperature is not one of them, even though it's defined in the extended code set as well as having a different one available in the standard set.
But oil temperature is precisely the thing I'm most interested in accessing and logging, because I'm very concerned about keeping the oil temperature in check on the track. While I'm not modifying the powertrain at all and the car does have the Boss 302 style oil "cooler" (that some seem to regard more as an oil "heater" than cooler) as well as the larger radiator, both of which come standard with the track package, I'm still nonetheless concerned about monitoring the oil temperatures and ensuring they don't get too high.
And so, my question: what's the OBD2 code for the oil temperature on the Mustang, and what's the formula for converting the resulting value to a temperature?
Is anyone here able to actually monitor their oil temperature through the OBD2 port, or does it demand a separate sensor? Because there's an oil temperature display in the "gauges" that's available on the center LCD display, I'm inclined to think that the data is probably being broadcast on the bus, and it's just a question of knowing how to ask for it.
I've searched the entire internet via Google, using multiple search patterns over the past few days, and have come up empty handed. Help!
