Hi all, this happened for the first time yesterday car came to temp and was driving just fine, I was cruising on the highway and noticed a loss of power. I also noticed my oil temp was reading 0 or 165 on the low end. No CEL, just loss of power, I was also in stock mode of my proceed V3. It was only 20f outside, babied it to my destination and let it sit for 3 hrs. Come back out, tested the car and had boost back so I decided to continue home. Drove fine and oil temp made it to about 200 when I noticed a loss of power again, I continued to drive and the oil temp slowly went down to zero. No CEL again. UnfortunatEly I had to drive a good 20 miles in this reduced power state. Again no CEL. Water pump? Didn't get any over heating warnings or anything.

Thanks

Sounds like your oil temp sensor is going out imo
