Theron- When I first got my V8 I noticed the gauge always seemed pegged at 
the high end I still ahd some warranty time on it and took it to the dealer. 
he found a TSB which added a resistor to the circuit and fixed the problem. 
Now my gauge (125K miles) still shows 5 bar (14.7x5=73.5 psi) when above idle 
and hot. I do not think I have ever seen the oil temp past the first mark. I 
think you would have to live in the desert to see it mid range. HTH
