The oil gauge is only to 'look' more functional, making the owner think his truck is more hi-tech, or that he has more control over it.

Same here: my temp gauge starts at 70°C and shows the correct temp (compared to the SGII) up to 90°C, above which it won't budge. Only the SG told me that my fan is broken by displaying a max of 114°C in a traffic jam
