Well every car I've seen the oil temp is quite close to the water temp. In all Subaru's I've seen the temp hovers round the 85 degC. After hard acceleration, it goes up to over 90degC
Same in my Mrs XR5, that hovers above 80degC even when cruising
That is with the engine at OT.
The oil is cooled by the coolant, so I don't see how it can be 30-40 degC cooler then the coolant that is cooling it.
That is just what I've seen
