This looks like it is a simple
voltage divider in which case the resistor values shouldn't matter much so long
as the 2 resistors are within a few of ohms of each other.
Or is there something I'm overlooking? The reason I ask is that 200ohms
is not a standard resistor value (so I don't have any in my parts box), so it
doesn't seem likely that Tracy would chose that value for a simple voltage
divider, unless there is another reason.

Tracy said 200, and I didn't question it. I
believe I used two 100 ohm resistors instead, and they were typical Radio
Scrap items. I believe Tracy said he got the resistors online somewhere,
and used 1% tolerance.
Looking at the circuit, I wouldn't use anything
significantly different from 200 ohms, because one of those resistors is in
parallel with the resistance of the sensor. I would suspect
this would just become a calibration issue though. My temps have
seemed correct with the new software, though I'm hoping I can make the oil temp
prove to be too high so my oil temp issues will go away
:-)
