The Oil Thermostat controls the speed at which the oil Temp get up to temp first....... around 200*degrees ..... especially for Aluminum motors.....

Then the size of the oil cooler will control the end result oil temp ......

If you run the motor hard and it goes over 250*degrees ....then you need a larger oil cooler.....

220*degrees on the oil is the optimium oil temp at speed......
