BINGO... nailed it. So many people miss the fact that an internal combustion engine has H2O as a by-product of the combustion. Water in the oil is a contaminant and has to be removed by heating the oil to at least close a temp of 212... a temp of at least north of 180°F on your gauge after a cooler install is where you want to be as the gauge reads the oil temp out of the cooler. Going into the cooler, it should be about 20°F hotter, which means water condensation in the oil is being vaporized out.

Good read jcosta...
