Default oil temp gauge

okay so i noticed my oil temp was reading as cold as possible i looked under my car and there is a plug hanging down unplugged i tried to get under and look at it and see where it went i was thinking it would be on the oil pump. and my chiltons manual didnt really help or i cant find it. so i was hoping i could get some help from you guys with turbo eclipse ( i drive a 97gst ) thanks ahead of time

well first of all its kinda improtant to note that there is no such thing as a stock oil "temperature" gauge. There is only a water temperature guage and an oil pressure guage.

So please clarify which one you are talking about

Oh my, no, water temp is on the very right next to the fuel gauge. The one next to the boost gauge is oil pressure

yea well its confusing to me too cuz your really not making any sense. What kinda aftermarket guage do you have because i dont know how you confuse an aftermarket as an oil temp, cuz usually they say right on it.
