2-5/8in Mech Oil Temp 140-280

The 2-5/8in Mech Oil Temp 140-280 by AutoMeter is a mechanical oil temperature gauge engineered for drivers and technicians who need real-time engine diagnostics. This instrument is essential for high-performance vehicles, vintage builds, and any application where precise oil temperature monitoring is critical to engine longevity and performance tuning. Whether you're tracking cooling system efficiency during track days or maintaining optimal operating temperature in a street engine, this gauge provides direct feedback without electronic dependency.

Built with a mechanical dial mechanism, the 2-5/8-inch gauge reads temperatures between 140 and 280 degrees Fahrenheit with accuracy and immediate response to engine conditions. The analog display eliminates lag and requires no external power source, making it a reliable choice for custom dashboards and restoration projects. The compact 5.3 x 5.2 x 5.6-inch footprint and lightweight 0.9 lbs design allow flexible mounting in tight engine bays, while the mechanical construction ensures durability and consistent operation across varying electrical loads.

This gauge is ideal for race enthusiasts, hot rod builders, and mechanics performing engine diagnostics on naturally aspirated and modified powerplants. The 140–280 degree range covers standard automotive oil operating temperatures, making it compatible with most V6, V8, and larger displacement engines. Installation requires a simple mechanical oil line connection to the engine block or oil filter adapter, and the gauge integrates seamlessly into existing dash panel openings designed for 2-5/8-inch instruments. Proper coolant and oil flow management begins with accurate temperature awareness—this AutoMeter gauge delivers that foundation.
