From a thread I read when I was planning my build and can no longer find, the gauge reads the oil at its coldest point oil cooler or not. So the gauge is always 10-20 degrees cooler than what the inside of your motor sees. So if you see 230, your motor is really seeing 240-250. That's higher than I'm comfortable with.

I tried to find that thread, but a search here for "oil cooler" returns more threads than I'm willing to sift through.
