I am really at a loss here fellas. Im trying to put this oil thing to rest but my commute this morning has me thinking otherwise.

• Drive begins at 7:15 (55 degrees) (140 oil temp)
• 7:20 in town driving…car reaches temp (180 oil temp)
• 7:30 on the highway 60mph @2500rpm 6th gear. (200 oil temp)
• 7:45 highway slows to stop and go traffic 20 mph 2nd gear (205 oil temp)
• 8:00 near standstill traffic (220 oil temp)
• 8:15 fully moving again 60mph @2500rmp 6th gear (210 oil temp)
• 8:25 park at work (205 oil temp)

I am just shocked that I hit 220 in sub 60 degree temps. Yes it was moderate to heavy traffic but I have no idea if there is reason for concern. The A/C was on and off to clear the window of some fog but the difference in oil temp was insignificant from what I could tell. Not really sure if there is cause for concern here or something wrong with the vehicle...
