Several points:

When you notice electrical problems, to me that's the first sign of 
an alternator ready to go.

Next, I noticed that the oil temperature (on the MFA computer) does 
not display for a while, like two minutes until you've begun driving, 
but it doesn't sound like that was the scenario.

(I think the guage next to the speedometer is engine temp, not oil 
temp-- so I hope you weren't talking about that-- but I could be 
wrong).

Anyhow, I would guess it's more to do with your alternator?
