[Spits] Spitfire Oil Temp

[Vic Whitmore]

Get at handheld infrared meter at Harbor Freight (US) or Princess Auto (Canada). 
Just point it at the oil pan and take a reading. It will be a little cooler that 
the actual oil running through the engine but not by much. They are cheap enough 
now that you can easily justify one in your toolbox. It will come in handy for 
other temperature readings as well, such as coolant temperature.
