My '01 Pathfinder SE doesn't have an oil temperature gauge.

The '01 FSM doesn't mention an oil temperature gauge. The string of characters "oil temperature" occurs twice,
and neither case is in reference to a gauge.

If you have an oil temperature gauge, it's an aftermarket unit. Who made it?

Are you referring to the water temperature gauge that indicates the engine coolant temperature?

Pathfinders never had an oil temp gauge. Like Chuck said, is it aftermarket?

Or did you mean coolant temp?

OK, can you be more specific about "not working"? Always reads high?
Always reads low? Something else?

This probably doesn't need the dealer.
