Dumb gauge question

What is the most upper left gauge on an '01 sd with 7.3. I always assumed it was an oil level gauge but I never knew for sure.

My 02' is oil pressure, not oil level. Don't know of any vehicle with an oil level gauge.

duh, that makes more sense. For some reason i was thinking one was oil pressure and one was oil level but i guess its oil pressure and engine temp. That makes more sense.

its more of a dummy light thats hooked up to a gauge.
it goes straight to the middle unless something is wrong, then it shows low.

a real gauge gauge would move with rpms and goes down as an engine warms up.
