    Engine Oil Temperature

    Somebody out there's got an oil temperature gauge, what temperature does it normally run?

    Oil Temp ---

    180-190 degrees even during high 90 weather at 70-75. I believe part of it is due to my two Trans coolers that really cool the trans and perhaps help also with the engine? I also have the 180 thermostat.

    A bit further north, I see 200ºF when ambient is above 20ºC (is that about 75ºF?), as high as 220ºF after a bit of spirited driving (but it quickly goes back to 200ºF). Below about 15ºC, it takes a while to reach 180ºF.

    Mine has been as high as 220* but normally runs between 180* and 190*.....usually a few degrees below the coolant temp!!
