Hey guys, I just got my oil temperature gauge installed in the cockpit after
ordering and installing the Racing Beat oil pressure/temperature adapter
block (and dumping 4 qts of 20W50 synthetic on the garage floor due to
mis-installation, er, uhm, uh, "user error".

Anyhow, during most of the day (ambient temps in the 90F's here in Texas)
I'm reading oil temps from 195F to 210F or so.  Is this considered normal?

Also, I'm still using the factory oil cooler and I *swear* that thing is
over-designed.  After a hard 3rd gear run this morning (hey, rush hour
traffic; I had to grab my spot in the right lane, eh...) I swear up and down
I saw the oil temps drop by about 15 to 20F degrees back down to the 180's
range...  funky.

Anybody got any input on this?

I think the stock oil cooler is hard to beat. More on this soon.
