Oil Temp Gauge issue

Just a thought here. You could get an ODBII reader and sense the temperature without replacing the gauge. See if it really is the gauge or the sensor. You would really only need to get an ODBII dongle and an app for you cell phone to test this out.

I have the OBDLink MX and use Torque pro with the Nissan specific addin software. I can pull all kinds of sensor data including Oil Temp.

I figured its worth a shot before you buy the new gauge.

Just saw the last post and thanks for the input. Well guess what, no problems since replacing battery with pricey good one and discharging system as was posted on this thread-the safe way. Just found a 350z with 38,000 orig miles , no accidents, 2 owners, Florida car, but dealer wants $15,500 for it. Got him down to $13,300, but it seems like too much and it's auto, really looking towards the manual. Have'nt found one in any where near this shape. They're usually totally ragged out. Thing is they just got the car in on trade and I happened upon it while walking the back lot and saw it (my car was in for an oil change btw) and I usually take a walk back there to see if they have any goodies back there. Any thoughts?
