I would say that within approximately 2-3 minutes the oil temp had jumped 35 degrees or so. But, to be fair, it did seem to drop back down pretty quickly once I was on level ground again.

Interesting. There is a highway that is perfect for this test: Interstate 8 between San Diego and Yuma. Going to Yuma it has the long uphills, and returning its has windy elevated upgrades. It has the heat coming from Imperial Valley. Has anyone tried this route? Thanks.
