Yes. You can change the order, and info being displayed. Many metrics to select from. All can be changed and accessed through vehicle settings. You can even elect to leave lines blank. Max is 4 lines of info.

the temps on the red and blue areas actually change? That seems wrong.
the coolant temp is not actual? That seems wrong as well.
I am not saying that is not the way it is, but it does not seem to serve any logical purpose.

That is brilliant, throw a few bullion cubes in to your cooling system, meat, some verges... go for a short drive and red bar tells you when the soup is ready.
And the blue bar is for dis distilling vodka? ja das ist gut

Water temp stays at 194F while oil changes up to 215F ish...

My water temp usually settles to 200 as well as the oil, but I've seen slight variations. This is the first I've heard of them being "fake" values. Also, it takes WAY longer for my oil to get to temp, and it never exceeds the water temp by the amounts in the OP. I haven't tracked it on a hot day or anything though.

Okay, lotta people not getting this so here goes.
Water cooled systems have massive excess cooling capacity designed in to allow the car to be driven flat out across Death Valley with air conditioner blasting away and still keep both you and the motor comfortably within ideal operating temperature. Vast majority of the time though you're not doing this, so they install a thermostatically controlled valve to avoid excess cooling by limiting coolant flow. I'm sure everyone knows this, or the general idea at least, and just finds it hard to believe the system works so well. But it does. In fact you can do 350 miles at 90 mph, summer or winter, your ribs will be cooked to perfection. Just be sure the tinfoil is sealed tightly first.

Water boils at 212f / Oil boils at + -400f at STP -sea laver / 14.5 psi. (Fluids in the engine are at higher pressures => will boil at higher temp.) antifreeze is a water / ethylene glycol mix - got higher boiling and lower freezing points.
Obviously the fluids should stay blow boiling temperatures as pressures are greatly increased above boiling point.
In a water cooled engines thermostat opens at around 190f sending coolant to to the radiator. This is what keeps water temp constant.
Some cars have oil / transmission fluid cooling system. In some cars oils is cooled from the coolant in the engine block. Coz oil temperature in 991 not very stable I don't think there is a oil cooling system in 991 engine.

GT3 engine more suited for barbecuing 
And don't forget Mobil1 french fries

Porsche's own literature says as much, but it doesn't say why they did it that way.

It is way too much trouble to cook ribs in a 991. You have to remove the plastic engine cover and fans before and after. Even if you go to the trouble, the smoke gets in through the sound symposer tube so you have to keep the windows open and the mirrors cause buffeting so you have to keep the sunroof popped.
The carbs, that is, not the grill….
