Default Proper Oil Temperature?
Running a brand new 427 side-oiler with remote filter and oil cooler.

I have been driving with outside temperatures anywhere from 40 deg's to 65 deg's and engine temperature has been real consistent at 180 deg's.

My oil temperature gauge starts at 140 deg's and the dial has never moved of the bottom yet. The gauge looks dead!

What should I expect as the normal oil temp?

Thanks,
Mike
