looking for a low tem mechanical oil temp gauge

autometer makes a 2" gauge that starts out at 120 degrees gmonde

Jegs has a temp guage that goes from 100 to 280. Their part #is 555-41202. Good luck. Phil

Just use a water temp guage. Its the same guage. Only difference on the guage is the lettering.

looked at both of those gauges - not what I'm looking for-I want a gauge that has more measurements in the 100-200 range do not care about those numbers over 220-280-looked at SW/Autometer/Sun/Sunpro/Marshall still do not see one --But thanx for all those ideas will keep looking

I am sure its not what your looking for but an electric, or digital may be the only way to get that range, and be accurate.

I had to get a digital for my coolant. Same gauge for oil. It's a Dakota Digital. Goes to 70 degrees F. Below 70 it just says "Low". Goes up in 2 degree increments.

I just leave the chiller on 'till it says "Low". LOL

No reason it would not be fine for oil. Needs 1/4" npt hole.

I had the same issue but I ended up with this: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/atm-4369

It's 60-210 degrees.
