Anyone using an separare oil temperature guage ? The aftermarket clocks I'm using don't have a temp guage, and I was wondering what (if any) experiance there is of adding a secondary oil temp guage using filler port?

Like no temp gauge at all? No water temp either?

Unfortunately it's only got a temp warning light, which flickers constantly.... the Busa clocks have an integrated analogue temp guage, so I strongly suspect the signal from the Busa ECU isn't compatible with the Chinese Koso rip off clocks I'm using

Personally, I’d go for coolant temp over oil temp. The coolant will start boiling and overheating before your oil will be hot enough to damage something.

Just my 2¢.

Yeh, I've been reflecting on that myself too... and came to the same conclusion, it's always bothered me that I've lost the temp gauge, so I've ordered a KOSO thermometer instead.... makes more sense...
