    Using a heavier viscocity oil (10 w50 in stead of 10 w30) should only be a temporary "get home" fix. Are you using teflon tape on the oil sensor?

    Check all the fan fuses/relays then make sure the fans are fully opperational. They need to cycle on and off when the engine is hot and stay on when the A/C is on.

    your thermostat is stuck open, get another one and replace it.

    what do you mean it has a hole, i dont understand. Use RTV on the threads instead.

    Please use proper grammar.

    Used the RTV as the other said for the threads. Dont monkey wrench down on the sensor, and used an open end wrench when you install the new one. Also dont use heavier weight oil. That could be part of the problem with the over heating during the summer going up the mountian. Second is if you have high miles on your car that could be another issue. Many things can happen with a high millage car going up a mountian in hot weather causing it to over heat.
