I wondered that, I was only able to test up to 200F after installing the gauge by street driving and up to those temperatures the built-in sump temp reading (via durametric observations) matched the gauge.
For the rest of what you were saying, thank.you. It kind of matches what i thought. Dang...
Maybe that's why they left off the oil gauge
I saw a video of a guy that installed a gauge on his Cayman and it was just like mine...
I have an accusump kit in the garage, might be time to put it on.
On a tangent, if/when my driving gets to a higher level and I am.pushing the car harder what would be the appropriate oil for track that can handle higher temps and stresses AND with a semi-decent service interval, like 2000 miles or so?
the second part might be a pipe dream
