My car has about 650 miles and I have tracked the temperature gauge for the last couple of days. For the record my car is a base model w/ a 6 speed and I drive to work 33 miles each way. The ambient temperature in the afternoon has been around 90F-92F and I drive conservatively. My top speed has been 65 mph and I have maintained that speed for about 25 of the 33 miles. My oil temperature has not risen past 215F (on mark shy of the 220F indicator). As I log more miles I will repeat at 70 mph and report what the temperature gauge indicates.
