Oil Temp Survey

Spearfish !! You're awesome ! +1 coming your way... would like to see some comparison of severity vs ambient temp and severity vs driving style... maybe a scatter chart for each ???

Thanks bro. Here's the extra two that you asked for. Tried some scatter charts but they don't work well as the data points are too discrete.

There didn't appear to be many surprises actually. Those who drive on the track or all out on the road had more severe overheating. Sporty driving had a few overheats but the majority were either 'just running hot' or had no issues. (I'm assuming here that 'running hot' is <260F as the survey participant should have selected the next category of >260 otherwise). Conservative drivers again had a larger percentage with no issues.

With regard to ambient temperature, no one listed that they only drive in <70F weather. In the 70-90F range, there is a mix of severity. Above 100F, noone noted normal driving temps (but there are very few in that cohort).
