Reading the TTO Temperature Gauge is very easy; it only requires a quick glance.
Reading the XRs Only Dipstick is very difficult; the numbers are small, and the graduated marks are closely spaced together. Also, the analog design is inherently more difficult to read, even if the gauge were larger. :roll: In addition, the lens is reported to leak, allowing water to enter under the lens. After water enters the lens, it fogs, making the dial impossible to read! 8O
I'm very glad I installed the TTO Temperature Gauge for $35, plus the cost of a couple brass fittings.
The XRs Only dipstick cost $40, plus shipping, and is much inferior. :roll: In addition, I like the placement of my TTO gauge much better.
I want to read the temperature of the oil as it exits the engine, not at the oil reservoir.
