What's the question?  If it's about the 25° difference between the dipstick gauge and the dash gauge (I assume you're talking about the dash gauge with a sending unit screwed into the oil pan), the two gauges aren't measuring the oil in the exact same place so there can be a difference.  The oil at the dipstick location is hotter than the oil that's on it's way back to the oil pump past that sending unit in the pan.  But the biggest difference is probably the two gauges.  If this is really bothering you, take a pan of boiling water out to the garage, place both the dipstick and the sending unit from the oil pan into the same boiling water, and then compare the readings.  Add in a truly accurate and certified thermometer and you will be able to tell just how much each of the gauges is off.
