Typical oil temps?
Finally mounted my sender and got my gauge hooked up (its been installed since March 08).
I'm getting around 210 driving 80mph...sounds about typical, right?

My oil is always between 210-220.

This morning was 70*F out and I never saw over 180*F, hung closer to 170*F.
I have my sender teed right before my turbo:
Yeah, usually I google it first. Then I cry to you. Then I posted online with my newly acquired knowledge!

Oh good deal, I'd be getting the same if I were at the same speeds/temperature. I'll be moving my sensor to an oil sandwich plate soon, well see if there is a significant change. Weird question for ya though: can you take off your oil filter without draining your oil? Seems like the oil level should be below the filter line.

My thinking was metering at the bottom of the pan would be slightly cooler, but it makes sense that you'll see what the temps are after the oil has gone through the motor. In all seriousness, wont it all be pretty much the same temp?
