So answer me this then. Why is it, that when i ran my car with my oil cooler and it was 95 outside and i did a total of 30 mins hard drving that when i got home and pulled the stick, my oil smelt burnt. AND IT WAS NISSANS ESTER BASED OIL. Fresh testing from the dealership, not even 100 miles on the oil before the mountain driving. Oil temps never exceeded 225. So I honestly think, and this is my opinion that your idea of 220-250 normal range is false information.


im just saying

And this is based on hard oil science, or you deciding it "smelled burnt?" 225 isn't going to hurt any reasonable motor oil.
