Give your engine's oil temperature circuit a calibrated signal with the Standard Ignition switch TS-522, an Engine Oil Temperature Switch built for the 1988-1990 BMW M3. It is a direct-fit replacement for this listed application. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
An engine oil temperature switch opens or closes an electrical circuit when engine oil reaches a set temperature, so the vehicle's circuit can respond to changing oil temperature. Standard Ignition factory-calibrates each TS-522 to its set point and tests it to confirm that it actuates.
Signs this part may need replacing: an erratic or missing signal in the circuit the switch feeds, or oil seeping around the switch body. Wiring faults and other components can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the circuit before replacing the switch.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does an engine oil temperature switch do?
It makes or breaks an electrical contact when engine oil reaches the switch's specified temperature, which sends a signal to the circuit it serves. The TS-522 is factory-calibrated to its set point.
Which vehicles does the Standard Ignition TS-522 fit?
It is listed for the 1988-1990 BMW M3. The Buyer's Guide tab has the full application details.
Is this M3 switch calibrated and tested?
Yes. Standard Ignition calibrates and tests each unit to confirm that it actuates at its specified temperature.
What part numbers does the TS-522 interchange with?
It cross-references to 12611309193, 1309193, WT628, TS6104, 819070 and SNU402.
What are signs my oil temperature switch may need replacing?
Possible signs are an erratic or missing signal in the circuit it feeds, or oil seeping around the switch. Diagnose the circuit first, because wiring or other parts can cause similar symptoms.
