Your post reminds me of when I got out of automotive school way back in the early 80s. An elderly man came into our shop and needed a new battery. I don't remember the exact make or model of this car, but it had to have been a 70-something Chrysler product. Anyway, his car had actual gauges in it, including a genuine ammeter gauge. He bought a new battery and the next day he came back because his amp meter was reading in the "+" side of the 0. He said it hadn't done that before. (Don't know if it did or not, we just took his word on it) So the boss gives him another brand new battery. The next day he was back because his amp meter was still on the "+" side of zero. My boss tells him to hit the road, being more polite about it than I just was. The elderly gentleman then hits a repair shop down the road and has them check out his car. They tell him it is fine. A third repair shop sees the guy the next day, but by then the word is out that this guy has a problem that doesn't actually exist and they tell him to hit the road. (It was a small town, the word got out) All this could have been avoided if this guy had an idiot gauge on his car and the car manufacturers finally figured it out. The same way with a genuine oil gauge. Most uninformed owners will freak if they see the oil gauge fluctuates from high to low as the oil heats up. But yet, they feel good having a car with a gauge, albeit a fake gauge, because they love to see the genuine reading on the gauge, even if it's a fake gauge. They just don't know it's fake.
