Perhaps you guys could educate me a little. What would the acceptable
oil temperature during normal driving? As the
oil heats up, where would the upper limits of temperature be and when should I be concerned that it is getting hot to the point of damage?
My 396 stroker runs water temp right at 185 degrees and my
oil temperature stays about 200 degrees. When I run it hard, the oil temp will creep up to 225 or so. Occasionally I have seen 240. I have the canton, but don't run a cooler at this point. Should I re-connect the cooler ? The temps here in Sac. run 100 degrees + in summer.
Any advice would be appreciated.
