GlowShift’s Black 7 Color Series Oil Temperature Gauge gives you the ability to easily monitor your engine’s oil temperature. Staying on top of changing temperatures ensures your motor oil does not break down prematurely, causing harmful wear to critical engine parts. This oil temp gauge will read your oil temperature from 100° to 300° Fahrenheit with the included 1/8-27 NPT electronic oil temperature sensor.
GlowShift’s Black 7 Color Gauge Series comes standard with a cutting-edge design that includes a black gauge dial, analog display and magnified clear lens. You can also choose between 7 different color options for the LED display. Install to the dashboard, A-pillar, or another location inside your vehicle. You’ll enhance the interior of your vehicle and take accurate readings at the same time.
Features
The gauge’s illuminated red needle sweeps 270° and is powered by stepper motor technology. You’ll get an effective combination of incredibly precise gauge readings with extremely smooth needle movement. GlowShift’s 7 Color through dial lighting system allows you to select and change the color of your gauge lighting display by simply pressing the button located on the front of the gauge.
7 Color Options
Easily cycle through the 7 Solid Color Settings and 2 Color Cycle Modes. The solid color modes featured are Blue, Green, Red, Teal, Yellow, Purple and White. Adjust the color of the gauge to match your factory dash lights, or create a custom look inside of your car or truck. With the Color Memory feature, you won’t have to reset the color of the gauge every time you turn on your vehicle.
Backlighting
This gauge features LED backlighting which results in an ultra-bright display that delivers clear and vivid readouts. On or off, the gauge will look great courtesy of the black gauge face and magnified lens which are at the heart of this Gauge Series. By connecting the orange wire from the power harness to the factory headlight switch, you can dim the gauge 30% when the headlights are on.

Why Do I Need An Oil Temperature Gauge?
Monitoring your car or truck’s oil temperature is critical, especially when towing heavy loads or pushing your vehicle’s limits over long distances. Although oil moves through and cools your engine, it continues to take on and lose heat. It also takes much longer for oil to reach a proper temp level, and keeping that temperature within a normal range is vital. Especially in colder temperatures, it takes even more time for oil temperature to reach a standard level. Having an oil temp gauge in place will alert you as to whether temperatures are running too low or too hot.

As advertised
I bought these gauges as a value replacement for my 3 stock gauges on my r34 skyline. Voltage, oil temp and boost. I was able to use the factory harness to produce lower and only needed to run a boost line and oil temp line for the sensor. These now fit in smoothly with the car and look really good. They’ll do just fine until I go with a digital screen for all my readouts

Review by Derrick M. on 2 Apr 2022review stating good gauges, but...
I wish it had a bright white setting. Also, they need to add a potentiometer to the kit to be able to turn down the brightness at night. I did connect them to my headlight switch as well so they do dim some, it's just not enough.

A: Yes, our oil pressure gauge will come with its own sensor. As long as the gauge is connected to a 12 volt power source, and the sensor installed it will read fine.
