Well to be fair, we are only being nice since you are a chick. If you were a guy we would be tearing you to shreds. :rofl2:

I feel like I should pay you for a therapy session or something. Hehe

Fair enough..lol. I appreciate it nonetheless! ;)

It was every 14 year olds dream....this old lady, not so much. ;)

like was posted, it goes into limp mode at 280, so you are fine up to that point. Its not ideal, but it won't do any harm. When I had my superchared corvette, both my local performance shop and the head mechanic at Spring Mountain race school in Las Vegas said 285 was as hot as I wanted to see the oil in the LS2, and I think its a function of oil break down and not the particular engine.

before my oil cooler, I saw 260 in stop and go traffic here in atlanta at around 100 outside air temp.

Since thermal breakdown occurs over 240F, I'd wager that 260F is not a positive thing. Modshack posted a graph showing oil viscosity breakdown a few months back.

How does turning the AC on help bring down the temp? Turning on the heater can help bring down the temp, but turning on the AC puts more load on the engine and probably increases the temp.

^^i believe turning on the AC will kick on the condensor/aux fan and maybe cool a little more..

bieber fever!..haha

Yep, there was a thread (or five) about this a while ago.

yeah but at highway speeds i highly doubt it would offer any additional cooling..i dont know but i may be a puller instead of a pusher as well??

Meh, I definitely saw a difference, as did others. At 65-90mph.

ok then it probably a pusher type and adds some additional cooling..

All I know is I wish we could turn it on without having the A/C on... for those cooler days (not right now though :().

in my professional opinion, i think the high temp was God's way of telling you to turn around and avoid the Justin Bieber concert.

I was at Universal Citywalk a few weeks ago, getting my bowling on, and my coworker said "hey, this is where the Bieber music video was filmed." I almost chunked my ball at him.

In TX, we typically don't see 120* weather (more like 110-115), but I normally dont see it hit beyond 240-245....I've been tempted to get an oil cooler, better safe than sorry....
