What engine temp are you normally around?

Hotter oil temp than an average car may be a good thing, that could mean we have more efficient lubrication systems, since more heat is going into the oil, which means higher shear stresses are being carried in the oil (better lubrication), or more engine heat is transfered to the oil, keeping the engine cooler. I doubt the higher temperature does any damage to the oil, since the peak oil temp in the cylinder is well above what it reads in the oil pan (mixed up with cooled off oil).

A Used Oil Analysis (UOA) is a man's best friend.
