oil temp
For you guys who track your cars, with the stock cooler setup, what does your oil temp average on hot summer days?

Re: oil temp
I'm usually too busy to pay attention, but I've never run it so hard as to enter the limp home mode which happens at 260 degrees (I think). If you run synthetic oil, 300 degrees is no problem.

Re: oil temp
the oil pressure in my 92 even in the 105deg temp is allways between 186-195 .the 186 is when on the freeway and the 195 is sitting in traffic. i believe that the oil cooler opens at 180 deg.
