Using Water Temp Gauge as Oil Temp
Hey Guys,
I had an extra water temp gauge laying around that reads from 100F to 250F... Do you think I can use it as an oil temp gauge?

The only thing I can say is call the manufacturer and ask them. |

Woops sorry, its an autometer... Its a eletronic sender. Thanks!
**EDIT: Oh wellz its probably fine to use if it is electronic. Now I am wonder where the best place is to measure oil temperature... I was thinking where the stock oil pressure sensor is the best place, as the pan might be too cool.... Anyone?***

if its autometer id say it should work, most lower model gauges use the same temp sensor for both water and oil, like they use same press sensor for fuel and oil...I.E. STRi
sometimes even on the instructions itll say "for oil and water temp gauge use" on it... though calling the manufacturer would be ideal.
