What should the temperature of the oil be hovering around, under normal driving conditions?

I think it should be between 180-210. If you start driving it hard for a few solid minutes, 240+, roadcourse and you will see 240-300. That is why I put an oil cooler in.

 

hmmm... ok. I was around 210 today on the way to and from work. Modrate to heavy traffic, with outside air temp in the lower 50s. I would think in stop & go traffic it wouldn't get too hot?

I used to see much higher oil temps on the digital readout in my 84 Corvette when stuck in traffic than I would on the highway.
