So I'l bite. Link to where credible,scientific data shows 180-190 is bad for the oil and 220 is the sweet spot for this engine?
I suggest do your research and read for yourself. hotter running engines are more efficient at what they do (combustion) with better emissions (good for the environment) Synthetic oil was invented to supplement hotter running engines for their higher tolerance to viscosity breakdown at higher temperatures than conventional motor oil.
Are you using synthetic motor oil in your car? of you are running your engine this cold, there is no reason for the extra lub. save yourself some money and switch to conventional.
