It is a digital gauge. You press a button on your steering wheel to change what is displayed. One of the choices is the engine temp gauge along with tire pressure, fuel economy, odometer, trip odometer, and more.

The digital display on the speedo reports out quite a few things...

Trip A
Trip B
Current Outside Temp and Mileage
Oil Life % Remaining
Engine Coolant Temp
Avg. Vehicle Speed
Avg. MPG
Instant MPG
Tire pressure FL & FR
Tire pressure RL & RR

There might be one or two more things...can't remember for sure.

And oil temp.

Oil pressure and oil temp are must haves on any performance car.

Agreed. You can read the oil temp with a scanner (or the interceptor obd2 gauges) but GM still didnt put an oil pressure sensor on the car! grrrr.
