We do get hot up here, and I will end up in traffic quite often. I also visit the mountainous/canyon areas in summer where temps will reach 86F+.
In both situations, I hit 240F oil temp and climbing, last summer. I did manage to stop for a while, so I didn't get to see higher oil temps. I think it wanted to go higher.
I noticed any spirited driving in 77+ will increase oil temp over 212. Which is fine, but if it warms up, I will get over 220. I'd like to see between 195-210.
Only problem is, how to keep it warm in spring time and early summer. Unfortunately the thermostatic valves are always partially open and blocking in cooler months would be a necessity.
Too bad there isn't a modulating blocker door for that purpose.
