That's the great thing about the performance steering wheel with the coolant and oil temp display. On cold mornings, the oil/coolant temp in my unheated garage will be 40s and 50s. After driving a short bit, the coolant temp will be 160 blowing hot air while the oil temp is still under 100.

I would think the oil gauge in the cluster reads the temp, just nothing to display since it starts at 160.
