I'm in Killeen so I got hot temps just like El Paso. 100-105F in the summer times. Last summer I was crusing down I-35 bout 75-80mph and my oil temps were at like 240F. I was like man that sucks. BUT, since then with a few oil changes (nissan oem dino oil), my oil temp hasn't cracked over 230F. On a normal 75-80F day my oil temps don't go past 225F. For normal street driving I think we pay too much attention to the oil temp if the gauge wasn't there we wouldn't even notice anything. I thought oil temps of 180-220F are normal anyway? What I have noticed though it seems like the higher temps are more prevalent in the 6MT and not the 7AT. Not sure why.
