No doubt these are calibrated. You could provide yourself with a correction table if needbe. Good thermometer, some oil, an electric open type tea kettle or heater and away you go.
Do it for both guages while you are at it. I am sure there are resistive elements that are used for calibration in the instrument (in the panel) however, they would need to be sent back to an instrument facility for calibration.
I have a JPI 760 C with dual oil temp probes. Now they are extremely accurate and I never bother referencing the panel instruments other than an occasional scan to see the needles are not pinned.
You can set the temp alarm to whatever you like. Maybe going for another outboard oil temp guage like the EI may be a better long term investment as these guages were useless (my opinon) to begin with because of the parrellax problem trying to read them.
