I like the form factor of the display on this gauge so I took a look at the listing. It shows that the gauge can be configured to Celsius, and it also seems to have a correction factor so you can adjust it up or down. The picture shows a button on the back for programming, does yours have the button? I'm strongly tempted to order one myself.

I don't see where it says it can be set to Celsius. Mine has the button, pressing it displays C1 then C2 then CA then CF... but in all cases it comes back to F. Perhaps there is a programming secret but I didn't find it. No documentation with it.

EDIT - I found where it talks about Celsius... in one of the pictures in small print. I'll try programming it again.

REEDIT - Hey if you look at all the pictures in the ad you learn all sorts of things... like how to program it. My bad.

I was able to program it to Celsius and saw how to set the corrections. With a bit of work it could be set up as the primary temperature gauge. It would be nice to be able to get an approximation of the oil temperature, perhaps from the exterior of the oil pump?
