Coolant temp maybe, but last summers 100 degree heat had little effect on oil temp. There are add on's to prevent over-cooling also. I forgot what it's called. Just read through the thousands of post regarding oil coolers.

In AZ, 114 degree summers, my oil gets very hot very fast. Average is about 230 in normal or street driving. I've gotten up to 250 once. In the winter, it's not a problem. Had my oil cooler installed yesterday. Bring on the summer! |
