Definitely oil temperature - so when it reaches "working" temperature engine is ready for optimum performance and economy. Coolant temperature reaches working levels much sooner - but no such gauge on F25. Oil takes quite a bit longer - probably even more so on diesels - which are slightly cooler running. Could also explain the potential for DPF problems - if so equipped - when mostly short trips are done.
