One of my goals is to place the temp sensor so that it will read gearbox oil temp without the pump running. I think I want to be able to turn on the pump when it is needed and after the oil has gone up to operating temp.

I intend to add the amount of oil it takes to fill the entire system, lines, pump, cooler, so that the oil volume inside of the box remains the same regardless of whether the pump is on or off. By keeping the majority of the external system below the normal gearbox oil level it should not effect the internal level much.
