Quick note to weigh in on the temp posts for comparison, my temp gauge is usually at 205, constantly. Mostly highway driving, but quite a bit of city driving, not much stop and go/traffic congestion. Either around the 40 mph, or 55-50 mph areas. I think that's pretty good temp wise.

It will go up when the temp gets higher. When it was 90 here last week, my car was running over 220. Now we are back in the 40s, I am doing 200-205. I hate New England weather

Engine temp and oil temp are two different things.

Our engines typically run 180-190 degrees F which is really fairly cool for a modern emissions engine.

But you were commenting on oil temps.....which (literally) could be anything from 200-260

I get under 90*C on the highway, it's the stop start traffic that gets the temp above 90*C.

Hoping the oil will run cooler once the fulyl synthetic's in but will be hard to judge as we're heading into winter as well.
