Default Oil temperature
I have a 5.0 stroked and bored to 354. No oil cooler. My water is 195 to 205 most of the time. The oil is 160 to 185 max. I do have a 7 qt oil pan and a remote oil filter. I would like to get my temp up 20 to 30 degrees. I have noticed when my oil temp goes up, I'm a qt low on oil.
I have a buddy with a 302, oil cooler, remote and his oil temp never gets above 160. Coach has a 461 KC and I think his oil temp is 200 or so.
