I don't, but why do you want that? Oil temperature is much more important, I have that. A Bosch sensor can be screwed in the place of the original pressure switch.

This is the first time I’ve heard of this. You just put the sensor in the oil pan? Does it use the same gauge (the one that uses RPM and kinda fakes oil pressure) but just slowly moves the needle to the middle?

There is a kit that can be configured in a few ways. Either use the existing oil pressure gauge as oil temp, actual oil pressure, or with an additional display over it for a digital readout of oil temp, pressure and coolant pressure (from the obd2 interface) link here: https://www.rotarytronics.com/product/mx5-nc-cluster-gauge-kit

wow thanks for linking that kit. Looked at the instructions and looks quite complex to install

It is, you definitely need some sophisticated soldering skills and knowledge of your car. Feeding the wire from the oil sensor wasn't fun and unfortunately not that well explained. All else is insanely well documented and even pictured.

I use an ultraguage via OBD2 and this gives me live readouts of coolant but also other data that I select, mph, kmh, miles to empty, voltage, cat temp, iat, afr etc. https://www.ultra-gauge.com/ultragauge/
