After a 12 hour cold soak, the fluid temps should all be the same or very close. You can change the "math" on the X-Gauge to adjust the temperature readings.

Does you EOT read with a decimal below 100*? How about the f*WT (ECT), does it have a decimal reading?

You might find you are closer together than you think. And depends on length of sitting.

Mine right now, after sitting 2 days, with current ambient of 35*f, ECT is 37*, EOT is 38.7*.

Since I do not have a decimal in the ECT, I would like to believe I'm closer to a 1* spread, than a 2* spread.
