is oil temp gauge needed

No. Ordinary vehicles only have water temperature gauges and water temperature warning lights, while ordinary vehicles do not have oil temperature gauges and water temperature warning lights. The sign of the water temperature warning light is that there are two wavy lines below, and the thermometer is inserted in the wavy line.

Most cars use water-cooled engines, which rely on the continuous circulation of coolant to dissipate heat. There are two circulation paths for coolant in the engine, one is large circulation and the other is small circulation. When the engine is just started, the engine temperature is relatively low at this time, and the coolant circulates slightly. In this way, the coolant will not dissipate heat through the radiator tank, which is conducive to the rapid warming of the engine. When the engine reaches normal operating temperature, the coolant circulates greatly. At this time, the coolant will dissipate heat through the radiator tank to maintain the engine temperature within the normal range. If the water temperature is too high, the water temperature warning light on the instrument panel will illuminate. Some cars have a water temperature gauge on the dashboard. From the thermometer, the driver can see how many degrees Celsius the water temperature is. If riders want to know the oil temperature, they need to install some instruments and sensors. Generally, only some supercars or racing cars have oil temperature gauges, and racing cars or supercars also have oil pressure gauges.

Some high-performance sports cars also have turbine gauges.The oil temperature will only affect the fluidity of the oil. If the temperature is high, the fluidity will be high, but if the temperature is low, the fluidity will be low. But as long as you select the oil with the appropriate grade according to the requirements and the local temperature, the influence of temperature on the oil will hardly be considered. Why bother with the temperature? Many people say that some high-end cars have an oil temperature display, and some of its functions are because the engine does not have an oil dipstick, and the oil level sensor is required to measure the oil filling amount, but accurate measurement requires an oil temperature of about 80 degrees, so an oil temperature is given to facilitate the inspection of the oil volume, and some vehicles may have some fierce driving modes, Only when the oil temperature and transmission oil temperature reach a certain standard can the best power be exerted, but it is not necessary for normal driving.
