AUTO METER Autogage 2.3125 in Console Gauge — Black Dial & Bezel, Oil/Volt/Water Triple Readout

The AUTO METER 2397 Autogage is a compact 2.3125-inch console gauge that displays oil pressure, battery voltage and coolant temperature with a black dial and bezel for reliable, power-free readings.

This triple-function gauge console combines three essential readouts into a single slim housing designed for street and performance vehicles where space, clarity and durability matter. Built on long-proven mechanical movements with bronze bourdon tubes and rugged nylon gearing, the unit delivers a clear 270-degree sweep without depending on vehicle electrical power. It includes lamp fittings, adapter fittings and is tailored to aftermarket installs or older cars with limited electrical systems.

How does this gauge show oil, voltage and water levels without electrical power?

The AUTO METER 2397 uses mechanical bourdon tube movements for the oil and water indicators and a voltage-sensing movement for the volt readout, so the pointers respond directly to fluid pressure and electrical potential. That means the primary indications operate even when the vehicle has weak or no auxiliary power.

• Bronze bourdon tubes provide a 270° sweep for accurate analog positioning.
• Durable nylon gearing reduces wear for long service life.
• Voltage movement designed to indicate charging and battery potential mechanically.

What hardware and accessories are included for installation?

The gauge ships ready to mount and light, with a bulb and socket assembly that includes red and green bulb covers for visibility. It also comes with a set of thread adapters so you can connect to common sender sizes without hunting for fittings.

• Bulb and socket assembly with red and green covers for night visibility.
• Includes 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" NPT adapter/fittings for sender compatibility.
• Compact 2.3125-inch console size fits tight dash locations and panels.

Will this gauge hold up under performance or street use?

Yes. The Autogage line is engineered for everyday driving and spirited use — the combination of bronze bourdon tubes and reinforced plastic gearing has been a reliable choice for decades. The sealed bezel and robust mechanical internals resist typical vibration and temperature swings encountered in street and performance environments.

• Proven construction with over 25 years of use in performance applications.
• Mechanical design avoids electronic failure modes in harsh conditions.
• Black dial and bezel reduce glare while maintaining clear readouts.

Who is this for?

The AUTO METER 2397 Autogage is ideal for car enthusiasts, restomod builders and owners of older or minimalist vehicles who need three essential engine readings in one compact instrument. It suits drivers who prefer analog dials, require gauges that work with limited electrical systems, and installers who value simple compatibility with common sender sizes.
