Just hooked up my oil temp gauge yesterday in my GSL-SE. I got the Auto Meter gauge that goes from 140-300 degrees F. The oil temp did not go above 140 ever. Mind you this was highway driving in fairly cool weather. I think I'm going to have to get the other range gauge, from 100-240 degrees. Anyone else have a gauge on their car?

I have the smaller range (100-240), today on the freeway home it was about 65-70 speed was about 60mph and I was seeing 150. On cold days were the temp is around freezing the gauge will barely regester 100. I hope this helps diminish your worries.
