i am at about 210-215 instead on the normal 220-225
but mind you i still saw 240 when i was redlining and "riding" 3rd and forth
but as mentioned it did took a while to get there than usual
as soon as i start crusing again temps went down

im still planning to get an oil cooler just for the peace of mind but at this point i dont think it is really necessary for a daily driven car
just curious, whats the spec of the redline oil you're using now? and wht was the previous spec oil u were using?
