Oil Temp Indicator Faulty

Received above warning today. Oil temp guage ( the one on extreme left)
appears dead. Needle laying on 150.

I don't have time to get fixed right away. Is it okay to drive for a few days?

Assuming you have good oil pressure and your coolant temp gauge reads normal I wouldn't worry about it. Very few cars even have an oil temp gauge.

micouremo is infamous around these parts

Most likely the gauge broke and it isn't a real threat. I'd lay off if possible to be safe but assuming everything else is in order there probably isn't a big risk
