I've driven in 95F weather spirited and have yet to crack 230F. Anyone else notice this. Also it seems most of these higher oil temps are on the 6spds.

I had (perceived) heat problems in both a 6MT and 7AT. Oil cooler got me where I "want" to be. 98°F ambient and hard driving and I never get near the temps I experienced before.
