Oil Temp, i would go with electrical because by the time the small amount of oil coming down the pipe gets to the gauge it will probably have cooled quite a bit and give you a false reading (TBH i didnt know you could get a mechanical oil temp gauge?!).
Oil Pressure, mechanical is better it has a much faster response time!
Pure rubbish,you can get a mechanical oil temp guage in any good raceparts shop.And it does'nt feed the oil up to the back of the guage to read the temperture!!!!You place the sender in the sump,the sender is filled with mercury.As the oil heats up the mercury expands,thus increasing in volume,this then moves the mechcanisim in the back of the guage,moving the needle.Regards,Micky
