Remember it is NOT an engine coolant temperature (ECT) gauge, it is the engine oil temperature. So will be cooler than ECT when on short trips and higher than ECT, once the heat soak gets in the engine.
That is definitely designed to confuse more drivers.
BTW, a diesel will be around 88 - 92C ECT, in average use.
