I think "toobroke" is running "toocold". Oil needs to be hot to work. I think I read the minimum should be 190 on oil.

Going to the track tomorrow. I'll report what I'm getting.

I normally see 175-185 degrees, but when I start pulling a hill, the oil temperature quickly climbs. I think I've seen it up at 230 degrees after pulling a long steep hill in the summer.

Castrol Syntech 10w30

We are in Texas and the outside temp is 100+ everyday on the way home.
