2/16 Chrono Chrome Gauge Temp 300 Degree

The AutoMeter 2/16 Chrono Chrome Gauge Temp 300 Degree is a full-sweep electric oil temperature gauge built for serious automotive enthusiasts and mechanics who demand precision monitoring of engine thermal conditions. This 2-1/16-inch diameter instrument fits seamlessly into most custom gauge clusters and dash pods, offering real-time feedback on oil temperature—a critical parameter for engine longevity, especially in modified or high-performance applications. Whether you're tracking temperatures during a dyno session, daily driving a turbocharged build, or diagnosing thermal issues, this gauge delivers the visibility that stock instrumentation simply cannot provide.

The gauge operates on a full-sweep electric design with a temperature range of 140–300 degrees Fahrenheit, giving you detailed resolution across the entire operating window that matters most in performance driving. The Chrono series housing features a chrome bezel that complements both classic and modern engine bays, while the black face dial ensures readability in varying light conditions. Electric operation eliminates the need for bulky mechanical oil lines, reducing installation complexity and vulnerability to pressure line failures—a significant advantage when routing plumbing through tight engine compartments or modular drivetrain swaps. The compact 4.5 x 4.5 x 5-inch footprint and 0.67 lb weight make it easy to integrate into custom gauge setups without adding substantial bulk.

Mechanics installing this gauge on engine swaps, turbo conversions, or stroker builds will appreciate the electric sender compatibility, which works with most OEM and aftermarket oil temperature sensors available in the market. The gauge pairs easily with stand-alone ECU tuning, data logging systems, and auxiliary gauge clusters on LS, small-block Chevy, Ford, and import platforms. Installation requires only power, ground, and a compatible sender signal—no high-pressure plumbing, no calibration hassles. This makes the 2/16 Chrono Chrome Gauge Temp 300 Degree an ideal choice for builders prioritizing reliability, ease of installation, and long-term thermal monitoring in street, track, or show vehicles.
