They are both important and this really is a hard choice. I voted water temp simply for the fact that the PCM already monitors oil temp so if you even got autoengiuity or other scanner you can watch that if needed, Also coolant keeps the engine cool as well as the oil. If your coolant starts to overheat an oil temp will still show you it overheating but not as accurately or quickly.

Tim could link a diag here. Iam PC stupid!
My van has 2 switches (spdt). I have 1 gauge 140* to 300*.
I use it for oil, water, trans. Not alot of room in a van for gauges.
My stuff is down low. Out of walkby eye view. If i piller mounted gauges i would be replacing them along with a side window weekly!
