Oil Temp
 

First I know this subject has been beaten to death but I need some advise.

MY car is running at a normal temp of 220 (pretty high), since in AZ its 100+ every day and it only takes 7 miles for it to get hot. Today pushing it a bit I was 230+ again on a 7 mile drive from work (stop and go traffic / 105 degrees outside). At what point (temperature) should I be concerned about damage to my engine? Also aside form an oil cooler it there anything I can do?

I know many have said unless your tracking your car the cooler really is not needed, so I would prefer not to drop the cost of that when my car is a week old (1000 miles on it) and I have no intension of tracking it.

Thanks in advance for the help and not giving me too much $hit for posting another oil temp question. :tiphat:

i see the post 2 down from mine asking the pretty much the same ... feel free to delete this post. my bad!

Those are very normal temps on any car. Relax.

thanks bro, was getting a bit nervous ... new car and all .
