50-60 at cold start, 60 at cruise, 65 at WOT, 45 idling at normal operating temps, 35-40 sitting boiling hot in traffic. gotta love GC 0W-30. it barely ever goes under 40 unless the stop and go traffic is severe, my fans are blasting and it's 90 degrees outside. even then it's only be a millimeter.

50 at cold start.
30-35 at warm idle in gear on a warm day.
25-30 at warm idle in gear on a HOT day.
20-25 at hot idle in traffic on a HOT day with the A/C running.
40+ at anything above idle.
45-50 at most cruising rpms.
This is all with M1 10W30, stock oil pump, and stock idle rpms.
30-35 at warm idle in gear on a warm day.
25-30 at warm idle in gear on a HOT day.
20-25 at hot idle in traffic on a HOT day with the A/C running.
