Ultra-Lite 2-1/16 Oil Temp. 140-300 F. Elect.

The AutoMeter Ultra-Lite 2-1/16 Oil Temperature Gauge with 140–300°F electric range is a precision analog instrument designed for engine monitoring in performance and restoration applications. This short-sweep gauge delivers fast, accurate temperature readouts on a silver face, making it ideal for drivers who demand real-time oil temperature data without unnecessary gauge cluster complexity.

The 2-1/16-inch diameter fits standard gauge clusters and aftermarket dash pods with minimal installation hassle. At just 0.65 lbs, the Ultra-Lite design reduces overall mass—a consideration in lightweight builds and vintage restorations where every component choice matters. The electric sender type eliminates mechanical cable routing and works with standard automotive wiring, providing straightforward integration into existing engine management setups. The short-sweep needle movement covers the full 140–300°F range briskly, allowing you to spot temperature changes immediately during hard driving or extended idling conditions.

This gauge suits hot rod builders, track day drivers, and anyone running non-stock cooling systems where factory dashboard instruments provide insufficient detail. Oil temperature monitoring prevents thermal stress on engine internals during sustained high-load operation—critical when pushing performance boundaries. The analog format provides immediate visual feedback without relying on digital displays that can lag or require initialization. AutoMeter's analog instruments are industry standard across professional racing and restoration shops, trusted for accuracy and durability in environments where electrical noise and vibration demand rugged, proven design.

Owners typically pair this with other auxiliary gauges—fuel pressure, boost, voltage—to build a comprehensive engine-monitoring panel. The silver face contrasts cleanly against most custom dash backgrounds and reads clearly in direct sunlight. Installation requires an electric sender in the oil gallery or filter block, standard practice in modern performance engine builds.
