Is the second smaller "other" oil drain hole, above the "real" oil drain hole M16x1.5?

I'm considering ditching my clock for an oil temperature gauge.

Gauge:

Just bumping this to the top again to see if anyone knows off the top of their head. The parts catalogue is no help.

Mine's definitely M14x1.5, but Ideola found his to be M16. Look here -

Hmm, I'll have to investigate further I guess, strange that 2 people would get 2 different sizes, I though the oil pan was the same throughout 924 development.

Does anyone know what temperature the oil runs at in a 924? I've heard 180 F, but I amy be way off. I was going to get the 150-300 degrees F gauge with the 300 F sender. Make sense?

Is 180 the max on the gauge, or the max you see when running the car? What oil temperature does the car get to while running?

mine runs around 85 celcius... although some people regard max power is achieved at a slightly higher oil temp...
Pretty sure my bolt hole was an M14 X 1.5 too...

The maximum of the gauge is arround 150..

When i drive it normal under normal conditions (20 degrees celcius temperature) the oil is arround 85-90 dregrees). When i drive quick (arround 180 or rev it high) it is arround 100 dregrees. With outside tempertures of 32 degrees the oil is arround 95 under normal driving.
