If they can't help you with a temp probe you don't really need it.  Don't
be afraid to call they have always been very helpfull to me.  I want to
get a probe to put in the exhaust.

BTW why not just epoxy a thermocouple to the outside of the oil pan.  that
should do a pretty good job.  If it does get pulled off the oil pan is ok.
