Oil Gauges, what does what Options

[beno]

Whats the differece between an oil temperature guage and oil pressure guage?

In terms of which one has the most meaning to the driver?

I know that the oil takes longer to heat up than the engine itself but want to
know the exact time the oil will do its job properly, so that i can give my car a blat
without worring that the oil isnt warm enough.

Which guage should i get for my car?

There actually quite neat!
I like the idea of it fitting in dash so tidely and have the factory look


What does the oil pressure and oil temperature mean:

Does the oil pressure tell you if your running low on oil or the oil is starting to break down and need changing?

And does the oil temperature tell you when the oil is warm and therefore safe to thrash you car?
