Don't make the drive in 5th gear at 75 mph, and you'll be fine.

You guys know that 212 or around that is normal operating temp in most vehicles. I understand the concerns OP, but don't be overly concerned with something that is completely normal.

I know we're all concerned about our cars, but c'mon now. You think this car can't drive long distances? It'll be fine. You see higher temps in stop-n-go then you will, on highway.

You will be fine. I haven't heard any issues other than track days here in Texas. Road trips are of no concern to heat.

Same here, drove 1200 miles with nothing other than normal temps. Around Orlando in damn hot summer nothing over normal, that's interstate stop/go and downtown stop/go traffic. In Orlando I4 is parking lot.

Man, people really sweat what amount to normal oil temps. You need 210-215 to boil off any moisture that can accumulate from short, around town trips anyway. I did install a Z1 24 row cooler on mine, but mainly due to where I live. OP, don't sweat the trip at all. If you have kept up on the maintenance, you'll be fine.

I had issues with oil temps, but never with long distance driving. That was always the one time when there were NO issues. high temps always seemed to be related to high RPMs and really not speed. In fact, before I installed my oil cooler, I'd jump on the interstate to get enough air flowing across my gizmos to cool the motor (and oil) down.
Maybe if you're driving 900 mph...in third gear, I could see it; else, I can't imagine. |

Yeah you want have any probs cruising at speed on the interstate at 80+mph. Highest I've seen with 100-105F temps at 80-85mph is like 230-235F.
