Oil Temps on Various Builds
Okay, here we go... for those who monitor oil temp, what are you running temp wise on a warm day after 1 hour on the highway?
95
103
107
110
117 and up?
Same question but what does your temp run when you are in traffic on a warm day?
What oil are you using and have you noticed a drop in temp if you went to full Synthetic?

My HQ 103 has temps (Measured at the pan) on hot day when moving 230 -240. If I get stuck in traffic or slow pace it will creep up to 250. Anything higher than that and I take a break. Went back to dino oil from synthetic and no change in temps. Got tired of paying $10 per qt. Figure I can change the Castrol dino oil every 1500 for $2 per qt.

Maybe your map is too lean in the 2500 - 3000 range. Could have too much timing. What kinda fuel mileage?
