With the Greddy drain plug I did the same and reached 220. Here are photos from after the oil change last week when the temps were settling at 190-200, and today when oil temps were settling at 185-190. I guess the Greddy magnetic drain plug did something to raise the oil temperature after all...

*I don't have a photo of it staying at 200 but that is what happened shortly after the first photo was taken.

I thought it was a bad reciprocating muffler bearing. Go figure...

Explain why temps dropped 10 degrees with the same ambient temperature

Well, it's not a fcuking magnet raising temps. I'll believe warmer ambient ground temps warming the underside of your car before a magnet causing a 10deg+/- variation.

Lay off the pipe, Crack is whack. Take it from Whitney.
