Civics only read coolant temperature. I think when the needle starts to move, that's 50 C, and when it is in the middle, that's 80-90 C.
If you want to read oil temperature and/or pressure, you need aftermarket gauges and sensors.

i don't think theres much of a choice out there
the gauge readings are pretty much standard, just pick whatever you like the look of best mate

i alredy got oil temp an water temp but since i cant find a wiring harness 4 it i mite as well get new gauges.
oil temps read from 100 - 340 an water read from 100 - 260. got it as a gift.
so i prb lookn at smaller reading gauges.

Your gauges read Fahrenheit instead of Celsius, that's why.
What do you mean by wiring harness? The gauges are connected by wire to the sender, plus you have 3 extra wires for power, ground and lights.

"Electric gauges" use an sender which sends an electrical signal to your gauge. If it is new, you should find a sensor with a NPT thread with a short or long length of wire.

The autometer site says that it should come with 8ft worth of wiring. Was yours lost?
Contact autometer or an local autometer dealer to buy the wiring. Or go to Jaycar with your gauge to find an equivalent connector and add wires in yourself.
