2-1/16in Oil Temp Gauge 140-300

The AutoMeter 2-1/16in Oil Temperature Gauge (140-300°F) is a traditional analog instrument designed for real-time engine oil temperature monitoring in street rods, classic cars, and performance vehicles. This electric gauge features a 2-1/16-inch diameter dial with a black face and chrome bezel—the industry standard for dashboard integration and visibility. The 140–300 degree Fahrenheit range covers the operating window where most enthusiasts monitor oil health and engine stress during sustained driving or competitive use.

This AutoMeter oil temperature gauge employs a short-sweep mechanical movement, meaning the needle travels a shorter arc across the dial face—a design choice that improves readability and responsiveness compared to full-sweep instruments. The electric sensing system requires a compatible oil temperature sender installed in the engine block; the gauge itself connects via a simple wire to that sender. The 4.8 x 4.5 x 5.05-inch depth accommodates standard gauge mounting pods and dash panels without requiring extensive modification. AutoMeter's precision construction ensures accurate temperature reporting, critical for protecting engines during track days or high-load street driving where oil temperature can creep into the warning zone.

Buyers restoring classic vehicles, building custom hot rods, or upgrading engine instrumentation on performance builds turn to this gauge for dependable temperature feedback. The traditional analog design integrates seamlessly with period-correct dashboards while providing the real-time data needed to prevent heat-related engine damage. Whether monitoring a freshly rebuilt engine during break-in or keeping tabs on oil temp during sustained freeway cruising, the 140–300°F range and crisp needle response deliver the information drivers need to make informed decisions about cooling system performance and engine load.
