It seems the Rotax 912 vibration shortens the life of the sending unit.
Many are now mounting the sending unit remotely so that the engine vibrati
on
doesn't affect it. I think Kitfox has a kit to do this.
I did this to my 912 after the sending unit started showing bad readings
after 6 hours of flight time.
No problems with oil pressure since completeing this mod. Got everything
from Kitfox.

The outside temp went above 90 the other day, and after 8 touch and gos,
dutch rolls, and steep turns
my oil temp hit 265 setting off an alarm. Normal ops is around 220 this sp
ring and was about 200 in the
winter. I was looking at the oil cooler and the front of the cowl blocks
about 1/2 the cooler. Might have
to lower this to get better airflow to the cooler. Using the bed style eng
ine mount.

Got a new oil pressure sensor today from Aircraft Spruce and it works
fine. It did not include an extra post for ground and looked exactly
like the one that was in my engine when I bought it. The first sensor I
was sent had an extra ground post. I suspect they just sent the wrong
sensor even though it was rated for 0-150 psi.

"extra ground post"?
Did it look just like the signal post (labeled "G" for gauge) and was there
a "WK" stamped into the metal can next to it? Then it isn't a ground. It is
the "warning contact" for the idiot light and closes to ground when the
pressure is too low.
I've attached a photo of a typical VDO sender with the warning contact.
