    My 96 5EK has an oil temp sender in the pan.

    Yea I’ve been seeing my oil temp gauge between 210-230.. once I see it around 215 I turn on the engine fan.. coolant temp gauge is always around 190 rarely hits 200. Always thought the engine fan will engage on its own once the oil temp hits a certain degrees..

    C15 engine fan is programmed to come on at 217* which is really fricken high imo. That can't be changed. Personally I always manually switched mine on at 200* and shut it off when it pulled back down to 192* I never really cared to see it go to 203-205* but that's just how I ran my CAT.
