RE: Oil Temp

[Ewan Hopkins <Ewan.Hopkins@computeraid.co.uk>]

That's almost double what my 8V runs at.  I'd guess either the
sender/MFA/gauge is faulty, esp. if the water temp seems OK, or you're very
short on oil or your engine is toast!  Is it pinking a lot? maybe your
timing belt has jumped a tooth - that can make it run hot, but I think you'd
notice the difference in performance.

My oil temp runs 150C-170C when fully warmed up.  Seems a little high.  Any
thoughts?
