The Analog Gauges are Nonlinear

When the car was new, it had a temporary decal on the cluster lens telling the driver that the analog gauges are nonlinear. Many people are surprised at how nonlinear the oil temperature gauge is. They think that the gauge or the sensor has failed.

This picture shows the oil temperature at 180 degrees as verified by an engine data scanner.

The coolant temperature is at 205 degrees, also verified by an engine data scanner.
