Oil temp question?

I get 225 degrees driving like a grandma... Car is still new and I do not even want to know what it will be at if I were to drive it hard.

+1. I followed break in procedures to a t, no revving over 4k, etc, and saw 225 every time I drove, with temps up to 240 or so.

There isn't really a problem on the street, temps will stay in the 180-240 range with all but the most aggressive drivers. Temps will climb when you are spending lots of time in the high RPM range with lots of WOT, this basically means track or track like scenarios such as mountain carving, hill climbs etc.

If argue that the car shouldn't see over 200 or so on the street.

While driving at 55-70 mph my temps drop to about around 210. That is with a cool weather today. around 70 degrees.

The high temps have inspired me to get the oil cooler installed when they replace my short block.
Driving uphill over 4000 rpm's will spike my cars oil temp 40 degrees in 90 seconds. Driving behind a Prius uphill below 4000 rpm's on a hot day can still get my oil temp to 260 degrees, it just takes 10 minutes. So I am getting the oil cooler to match my life style.
