Being able to see the oil temp is even more valuable.
The major downside is only seeing one reading at a time and, more importantly,not being able to scroll backward. To get back to the previous reading you have to scroll through all the readings back to the beginning.
If you don't buy the gauge already installed in a new vent,it's a little tricky removing the two top slats in the old vent and replacing them with the gauge and then reinstalling the two bottom ones.But the rest of the installation is straightforward.
But overall, I would buy it again, unless I decided to pop for the very nice and very expensive Awron gauge.
