Default Oil Temp Gauge ?

Is there a wire to tap into for an oil temp gauge or will I have to install a sender for it? Also, what wire is easiest to tap into for a switched ignition wire (+) for the gauge?

You will probably have to drill and tap the oil pan. I tied into the ign wire for the radio cause Im familiar with all the wires for a headunit. Its the red wire btw if you tie in behind th headunit.
