Default what is a normal oil temperature for you guys in normal driving conditions?
My oil gets to 200 real fast. I really feel like it used to get to 175 and stay there unless I was really pushin it. Now if I push it goes to 225 pretty easily. Anything I should be worried about?

200 degrees, unless I am in traffic or pushing it in hot weather then 225-250.

Default That's pretty normal.
Normal drive to work (20 mins) I'm around 215-220. Pushing the car or in very hot weather at higher RPM's... 225-230.

Default Between 200 and 225
Sounds normal. You want to get it hot to get rid of any water that may work it's way in.

Default Bah, installed an aux-oil cooler and even in summer heat, highway driving-->
temps barely go over 200 deg. Cooler weather (fall, winter) temps never go over 170-180.

220-ish in hot summer weather under normal driving conditions. Would like to see 200.

Default My oil temp is always dead on at 200, it'll go to 205 on 95 F+ days with A/C.
The secret: a 24-row oil cooler where the SMIC was.
