Oil Temperature in Cooler Weather
So it is starting to get chilly around here in Houston, and today as I was driving to work (~50 degrees outside @ 7:30AM) I noticed that my oil temperature sensor was only reading around 160°F... This was highway driving at 70mph for about 30 minutes. At the end of my drive temperatures rose as my average speed dropped, but did not even approach 180°F.
I have the Stillen 25 row oil cooler, which worked great during the summer. However it was my impression that the thermostatic plate only allows flow through the exchanger @ 180° or higher... Am I going to run into any problems daily driving it through the winter? Why does the temp not go up to 180 and just stay there?
