Engine oil temp

I have the ELM bluetooth OBD sensor and I use a Droid smartphone with it. My question is - does the 6.0 have a sensor to measure engine oil temp. I am getting a read that does not vary from 32 F. I can easily get the FICM voltage, rpm, coolant temp, etc, but have not been able to get the engine oil temp.

Damn, my sensor must be bad. Wouldn't it throw a code if the sensor was bad?

Maybe its a Bad EOT Sensor IDK

AmDriven2liv (Sean) has that blue tooth droid phone app or something like that he might be able to give some help on it

Do you have to program anything in it to get a certain gauge or just plug n play maybe try to reset it IDK thinking out loud

Check the PID settings:

EOT
PID: 221310
Unit: Deg. F
Max/Min: 300/0
Equation: ((((A*256)+B)/100)-40)*(9/5)+32

Make sure you have the correct amount of these ( in bold. And, they are in the right places. I couldn't get mine to work, and found I had too many!!!
