just conservatively driving around on the street in 85-90 degrees ambient, my oil temp. goes up to b/t 220-230. with only 270 miles on the engine, i'm trying to be kind to the engine and not rev it past 5000 rpm.
Damn...230 with conservative driving around down? Scares me. I'm about to pull the trigger this month or next.
