2-5/8 Dia Oil Temp Gauge Silver 130-280

The 2-5/8 Dia Oil Temp Gauge Silver 130-280 by EQUUS is a mechanical analog instrument designed for engine builders, performance enthusiasts, and mechanics who need accurate real-time oil temperature monitoring. Whether you're tuning a street engine, tracking temperatures during dyno sessions, or monitoring a high-performance build, this full-sweep gauge delivers the reliability and precision required for informed engine management. Oil temperature directly impacts viscosity, bearing protection, and overall engine longevity—making quality instrumentation essential for anyone serious about vehicle performance and durability.

This mechanical oil temperature gauge features a 2-5/8-inch silver diameter face with a crisp white background for excellent visibility under all lighting conditions. The full-sweep needle movement spans the complete 130 to 280 degrees Fahrenheit range, eliminating blind spots and providing instant visual feedback on critical temperature changes. The all-analog design means no electronic interpretation or sensor lag—the gauge responds directly to actual oil conditions via a mechanical sender, making it a preferred choice for reliability-focused builds and classic restorations where electrical noise or potential sensor failures pose concerns.

Mechanics and engine builders benefit most from this gauge during engine commissioning, endurance testing, and long-term monitoring of modified powerplants. The 130–280°F range captures normal idle temperatures through sustained high-load operation, making it suitable for street engines, mild performance builds, and even marine applications. Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with basic gauge cluster work—the 2-5/8-inch bezel fits standard automotive dashboard openings, and the mechanical sender installs directly into any engine block or manifold oil port. Weight and compact dimensions ensure minimal impact on dash real estate while delivering the durability expected from EQUUS instrumentation.
