Anyone up for a Malibu canyon drive?

The canyon roads look sweet...as soon as I get an oil cooler I'm there

What temperatures did you hit? How long would you guys say the drive was?

max i hit i would say 240 but it didnt stay on that too long
i would say most of the drive i was 220-230 switching between 3rd and 4th gear

drive theru the canyons was maybe about 3 hrs or so with some smoke breaks in between lol

if i remember correctly trips said he hit 190 with his oil cooler(dunno what gear) and andy said he hit 220 with an oil cooler riding on 3rd most of the time

that's pretty surprising, I do 2 minutes of spirited driving on some twisty roads between 2nd and 3rd around here and my oil temp is at 230 in a blink of an eye. So I was thinking a 3hr canyon run it should be at 250-260 easy but I guess not? Maybe I'll just give it a try with you guys next time.
