looking for a low tem mechanical oil temp gauge

FED 387 · 01-13-2013, 08:00 PM

need a low temp (starts at 100*) and goes up to maybe 240 or so mainly looking for a full sweep gauge that has most of the degree readings below 180 not one of those that goes from say 100 right up to 140 then has most of the readings in the upper range---any one have any ideas ??

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.

Paul ---that's what I need wonder if they have a mechanical one
