This was the case from when I bought the car at 50,000mls until it was scrapped.

I will try to get to it tomorrow and test it. However - I don't understand the use of oil temperature.. does it somehow influences fuel/air ratio or is it just to inform the driver - by the way, oil temperature is 55 degrees celsius

I don't think it made a lot of difference to the engine management as I believe it was discontinued in around 1999.
