>> What is maximum oil pressure you can expect to see on a cold day?
About 50 psi cold, 40 at normal temps.
>> Maximum oil temperature?
The thermostat for the '95 is rated at 225°F, which IMO is too hot. My '91 was 194° and I'm considering a retrofit, if the parts are compatible. My '95 Aero runs no more than 210°F (200° normal in summer) running Royal Purple 15w40, which in my '91 ran 10° cooler than Mobil 1. I still would like to see it lower, even though 200° is not really too hot for a good synthetic.
>> And last, maximum coolant temperature?
You will see up to 230°F or so, but not often, and I generally see no more than 220°. If you let it idle long enough, the fans come on at around 230° if I recall. BTW, installing a water temp sender on a 9K 2.3L is a challenge. If you haven't seen my setup, let me know and I'll post the pictures again.
>> I am asking because I would like to install only one guage (electric) with a switch to be able to read coolant temp or oil temp...
You may have trouble finding a sender that is compatible with both, as I don't think you can do it with VDO gauges.
>> I assume 100-250 F guage for temp (or should I go 140-300?).
No, you'll never go even near 250°. If you do, something's wrong.
>> The third guage will be boost 0-30 psi (mechanical).
Consider a vacuum/boost gauge, like the VDO offering.
