<div dir="ltr"><div>Gary - I have an OT gauge fitted to my BJ8. BTW use the same gauge to measure top hose temp and engine compartments temps.</div><div>Oil in our cars takes a long time to get off the chill. Being old school don't like exceeding 2000 RPM till OT is above 120F that can take 15- 20 mins. Very different to water temp warming time. Normal running is around 150 - 170 F all of course dependant on ambient and speed. Highest have ever seen is 194F onĀ hot day (over 33C) after sustained highway driving and then being stuck in traffic for a long time. I have an oil cooler too - fitted by PO so can't confirm its thermostat opening temp but been told is typically 180F.</div><div>rg<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Mar 9, 2021 at 4:25 PM warthodson--- via Healeys <<a href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net">healeys@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
