The Oil Temp Sender is basically just like a drain plug with a core sending unit in the center. The probe protrudes into the oil pan about 1/4 inch. The terminal is a round disc that a female spade connector will plug onto. It only sticks down about 3/16" below the bottom of the drain plug. I have not a clue as to the answers to the other questions that you posed, other than to tell you that I run nothing but Mobil 1 Synthetic oil. I have never seen a temperature that would be close to causing oil breakdown. As to gauge fluctuation, Not much there either. My gauge and sender are maxed out at 170C. Most of the time the needle is down in the 120-130 range. That's nearly bottomed out. In the cold months (if we have one) I allow the engine to warm until the needle comes off the peg before I add any substantial load to the engine.
