Great, all the factory gauges are approximate anyway. Now I will add
another approximate gauge, brilliant. Is there anyway I can use any other
options?

Re: Installing engine oil temperature gauge - TJ
Yes, the stock unit will work if installed in a tee.
I've never used a sandwich adapter. Remote oil coolers/relocaters I've seen
have the same filter threads and valving as the
big Ford V-8 filter (FL-1A). The in/out port threads were 1/2" NPT
Note: I have read on Allpar..com that the Jeep 4 liter filter has the same
threads and internal valving as the V-8 Ford Filter

Re: Installing engine oil temperature gauge - TJ
The oil temperature gauges on my turbo 1.8 liter and twin-turbo 2.7 liter
Audis were graduated in 25 degree increments. You should find the oil
stays between 200-225 degrees which is well within the specs. Synthetic oil
runs a bit cooler
If you add a sandwich or other remote base you will have the temperature
sensor located somewhere other than in the pan so will also get
"approximate" readings. Personally the only changes I have ever made to an
oil pan was when I was racing and I brazed a larger sump to the bottom of
the pan to increase the oil capacity. I do not think I would do that again.
I don't think a few degrees are significant but if you are really concerned
with oil overheating then get a remote cooler and tee the sensor in-line.
Depending on the capacity you want it will run between $100-$200 for parts
