Default The coolant can run up to 220 F

So, the oil can get even hotter. Mine gets upwards of 230+ in heavy traffic conditions. But it may run cooler soon when I change to water and water wetter only. I also plan to enhance my oil cooler system, possibly with an electric fan/ forced air unit.

Ford 385 series run hot, so it seems, and so I have been told.. ?
