So yesterday went on a little road trip with a mixed medley of driving conditions. I had some city traffic with stop lights
and highway speeds of 80 mph. I kept a watch on oil temp, engine temp and oil pressure. The temp outside was low 90's with oppressive humidity. So here are the numbers approx 95 miles traveled 70 % highway. Oil psi stayed in the low/mid 30's, water temp never went above 215° and the oil temp never went over 190°. Oil temp hovered around 185° until I waited in line for several minutes to get Exxon gas for $2.95 a gallon. It seems that the coolant system and oil cooler are working well. It seems that this engine is fairly easy on oil as far as temperature goes. Thoughts??
