Yeah, I think that was what Dustin was saying basically.

It makes sense that it is reading off, especially since I have zero issues getting up to 160, and then once it gets there, if I'm just doing normal highway driving (even in 85 degree temps) it will stick there, even though I have a 180 degree thermostatic plate. I know the plate will always flow some oil through, but it won't completely open until 180 degrees.
