Oil temps: 335 comparitive observation.

Running any temps lower than 200-210 wont burn off the moisture that is in the oil from sitting. So running lower than that may give more power but is it

200°F at the temperature sensor will have the oil well above 212°F during its circulation and so you will be burning off moisture.

I talked with folks from Z1 to confirm and they claimed a pretty low metered temperature to get the oil warm enough to address the moisture issue. I forget the value they cited.

Now, all this moisture talk has me wanting to visit an Onzedge thread.

thats a real good question i'm curious as well. my avg oil temp srems to be 210 in heavy stop n go traffic at 90 degrees ambient with my 34 row cooler but 170-180 on highway cruise in warm weather cold weather a little lower. plus my headers arent heat wrapped so i imagine its higher than it should be at times.

i have yet to do a track day sincr getting headers but prior i would see around 220 after 5 or 6 consecutive hard laps
