Yes, it actually tells you when the car's properly warmed up. The coolant shows the car to be warm way before the oil is actually warmed through. I find myself being very much more sympathetic to the car whilst it's warming up, since I installed the oil temp gauge.

I mounted three Defi gauges in a centre dash pod, in place of the storage binnacle.

Scooby Mania sell some fairly inexpensive gauges here.

If we all had an oil temperature gauge then there might be fewer; "whys my engine gone bang then?" type of posts here.
