Troubleshooting an Oil Temp Indicator X-out on the G1000 in my '40. It X-ed out, MX checked for loose connections, none found. Worked normally on the next flight, then X-ed out on a subsequent flight. We replaced the oil sensor, flew one flight without issue, and then the second flight this weekend ...
