Oil Temp

[rapieper@yahoo.com (Ron Pieper)]

I get about 105C on mine, with stock thermostat.  Remember, the oil
temp will normalize near/at the water temp, since you have a heat
exchanger between the two.  Lowering the t'stat temp should also lower
the oil temp.  Al's expeience with cleaning his radiator proves this.

I'd like to hear some experiences effect of oil temp on lower t'stat
temp...(what t'stat, what before and after oil temps).  Anyone?
