Temp gauge display compared to hidden oil temp

Thought I would compare the Temp gauge display (which is a combination of Oil and Water temp) to the hidden menu actual oil temp.

Temp was 20c outside and very sunny. after driving, as soon as the gauge said 'OK' ...


Stopped and checked the actual oil temp. It read 72c, so i think this is warmed enough to start extending the car - 'OK' indeed?!


Then went back to gauge display, and drove until it hit fully warm (middle of gauge)


Then again, checked the oil temp - 96c


So looks like the gauge is pretty accurate which is reassuring to know for spirited driving.
