I think the earlier 98 clusters don't have the oil change warning lights. They also have correctly working temperature gauges.

My 98 was a later one (made in late february '98) and it has no oil change warning light but yes it does have the better temp gauge.

The 1998 cars had analog signals going to the cluster for the gauges, whereas the 99-02 cars were a digital signal from the ecm, thus why the 98 cars temp gauge actually worked. The connecters are the same on the cluster, but the wiring is different.
