2-1/16 S/C Oil Temp. Gauge 60-170c

The 2-1/16 S/C Oil Temperature Gauge 60-170°C by Autometer is an essential engine monitoring instrument for serious automotive enthusiasts and mechanics who demand real-time diagnostics on modified or high-performance vehicles. This mechanical gauge provides direct visual feedback on oil temperature, a critical parameter for engine longevity and performance tuning. Whether you're running a turbocharged engine, upgrading cooling systems, or validating tune changes after dyno work, accurate oil temp monitoring prevents catastrophic thermal damage and guides maintenance intervals.

This Autometer gauge features a 2-1/16-inch diameter face with a 60–170°C measurement range (approximately 140–338°F), ideal for tracking temperature variations across daily driving, spirited acceleration, and sustained performance events. The mechanical design eliminates electronic lag, delivering instantaneous needle response to thermal changes in the oil system. The sender unit integrates seamlessly into factory or custom oil galleries, while the compact case dimensions (4.9 x 4.5 x 5.05 inches) allow flexible dashboard or pillar mounting in street rods, drift cars, and tracked vehicles without sacrificing cockpit ergonomics.

Mechanics and tuners rely on this gauge to validate cooling system upgrades, confirm oil circulation after engine rebuilds, and troubleshoot thermal management issues before they escalate into bearing failure or sludge buildup. The Autometer nameplate ensures OEM-quality construction and calibration accuracy, making it a trusted choice for both daily-driven modified vehicles and competition applications. Installation requires basic mechanical aptitude—routing the sender line to an oil pressure port or custom boss and securing the gauge face to your chosen mounting location—making this a DIY-friendly upgrade for garages with intermediate technical skill.
