Here ya go: Two screens from the UltraGauge.

Will the UltraGauge show oil temp? I am trying to find one that will.

Torque on a android... nope.
GoPoint on a iPhone... nope.

I haven't had much luck finding one. The 6.2L in the F250 seems to have a oil temp PID setting but not the Raptor.

Anyone know of one that will read the oil temp?

Sry, what is PID?

They are vehicle specific plugins for the Android app "Torque".

No sir, but it does show coolant temperature.

Thanks... I doubt any OBDII device will show it. I have GoPoint for the iPhone and it shows coolant as well. I'd like to see the oil temp so I guess it will have to be an aftermarket gauge...

The "Gauge Mode" on the Raptor is a big disappointment. There is plenty of room for oil temp, pressure, voltage. Hell, Ford could have put a TPMS for each tire as well...

No argument there. Ford had a lot of options and apparently took the price-point approach.

Just curious why you're so concerned with oil temp? It's going to correlate with coolant temp, and you'll run into issues with coolant hitting too high a temp before you will on oil temps. I'd be more concerned with monitoring oil pressure than oil temp.


I do agree the gauge mode is garbage. They really dropped the ball on the trucks with that. The mustang gets all kinds of goodies with miniature drag racing trees in there and all kinds of stuff, and we get 1 measly line for trans temp lol

Actually I want one that will read oil pressure, voltage as well as oil temp. There doesn't seem to be a solution to cover all readings so my only choice in an aftermarket gauge... and personally for me I don't want to go that route.
