As for the sandwich adapter I will be selling mine. I spoke above how I will be moving the oil pressure sending unit even off the T. I prefer not to run sandwich adapters. Case in point that my jack was run over during the winter and I had to change the oil about 6 weeks back. I had no choice but to take the car to a shop. I told them that the sandwich adapter was there yet they still somehow ended up loosening it and then it caused a leak after the oil change plus the tech damaged my sending unit in the process. Not worth the trouble if I end up in a bind.

A simple plug-in OBD2 device will give you that temp reading (and more) without even getting your hands dirty. Seems pointless to have a secondary temp gauge that is not providing you the correct data.
