What size do you have?

With my 34 rows and Nismo front bumper, last winter (30's to 40's), I blocked off the bottom 1/3 and highway speed 65 mph will see oil temp drop from 180+ to 160 ish. (I would turn on the car for 30 min just to get the oil to about 180 to 200, then oil temp would gradually drop to 160 in about 5-10 min @ 65mph).

This time around, I blocked off about 70% of it. Current temperature in Dallas is in the 50's, and highway driving (includes 2500rpm cruise and a stretch of higher rpm pushes) will yield 180+ to 200.
