Maybe French drivers never bother to check their oil level

who said the french are all dipsticks!!
i wonder how involed it would be to swap for a oil pressure gauge as from previous comments they are fitted to some models

I thought they were temperature gauges like my D9

I've never heard of an oil pressure gauge on a 406, only level indicators and temperature gauges

Retro-fitting a temperature gauge would be EXTREMELY difficult on a D8 as you'd need to make up a new sensor mounting somewhere on the engine near the thermostat, or modify the thermostat housing directly as the dashboards with the sensors expect a different voltage range to the ECUs
