Why did 370 Z go with Oil temp. guage?

geddy lee · 07-03-2012, 07:55 AM

Just wondering why the 370 went with an oil temp guage instead of oil pressure guage like I had on my 350Z? I really got used to monitoring the pressure.

So everyone could make a big deal about Oil Temp,

Oil pressure gauge would have been nicer than that stupid fkin clock.

Agreed, I also miss the individual tire pressure readings as well.

If the point of the gauge cluster was to play off the retro look, at least they could have used an analog clock. Just sayin'...

That would be really cool! That said like most others, I'd rather have the clock in the info display and use that location for other purposes.

I had a serious lapse in judgement around the end of 2010 and purchased a Chevrolet Cruze--a waste of a year of car payments. However, it had a good TPMS in it--a reading for each tire. If a cheap Chevy can come with this feature standard, it shouldn't even be a question on a Z. It should be there.
