The oil takes a good 10 mins if not more to catch up with the water temp...

It does come with some hose, but honestly I'd get some silicone, as the hose that came with mine was very thin and brittle. I think I bought 3m of 3mm ID hose for a fiver.

I only use my oil temp gauge to know when I can give the car some stick without doing it on a cold engine

This was the reason I ran an oil temp gauge on the Skoda.
