FWIW-My 95.5 had an oil temp gauge.

As I found out the hard way (anyone need a used working thermostat?) the
climate control only reports accurate coolant temperatures when the heater
is on.  When the heater is off the coolant flow past the climate control's
sensor (which is not the same sensor that the ECU uses) is slow or stopped,
and the results are roughly 20C lower than the 
actual temp.

I know the later cars don't have oil pressure gauges, but no oil temp 
either?
