Bosch 2" Mechanical Water & Oil Temperature Gauge — Black Dial & Bezel, 270° Sweep, 12V Illumination

The Bosch SP0F000053 Style Line is a precision 2" mechanical water and oil temperature gauge with a black dial, black bezel, 270° sweep, and built-in 12V illumination for clear readings in 2-1/16" openings.

Engineered for accuracy and designed for a clean, modern look, this Bosch temperature gauge combines practical performance with a compact footprint. It reads 100–250°F across a wide 270° sweep, fits standard 2" instrument cutouts, and ships with mounting hardware and a removable mounting panel. The black dial and bright pointer make the display easy to read day or night, while Bosch’s long heritage in automotive and industrial instruments underpins reliable operation.

How accurate and easy-to-read is the Bosch Style Line gauge?

The gauge provides a clear, linear 270° sweep of the scale from 100 to 250°F for fine-grained visual accuracy. A bright pointer contrasts against the black dial face, and internal 12V lighting ensures visibility in low-light conditions without adding external illumination.
