Without a doubt. Sometimes my hood is too hot to touch, and I have no problem stirring my morning 155F homemade latte with a finger.

Here's my guess. Engine bay temp is within 20F of your oil temp at any given oil temperature. Also, assuming the engine bay temp would never be above oil temp.

Hell, I'll go test this with my wireless grill thermometer later tonight.
