Has anyone figured out how to display engine oil temperature in the forscan lite dashboard?

Thanks,
Greg

I did engine oil and transmission temp on my 2019 Platinum.
How? Would love to have actual read outs on my 2019 Platinum.
Can my mechanic do it without Forescan having extensive electronic equipment?

It's been a while since I did it. Forscan has a non As-blt section where it is menu driven and you don't have to change the codes.
That's where I changed it.
Or you can use the as built section and do this:
Description Module Line Line Line Line Action
Engine temp & Trans temp show on gauges (8" Clusters only) IPC 720-07-01 xxxx xE5x xxxx use if you have trailer brake ctrl and turbos
Engine temp & Trans temp show on gauges (8" Clusters only) IPC 720-07-01 xxxx x65x xxxx use if you don't have trailer brake ctrl but have turbos

I think this is coolant temperature, not oil temperature.

I did another check and there is no way to show oil temp. Besides engine temp is the closest thing and IMHO more important.
