To give you a for example, on this 68 degree morning, my water temp quickly warmed to the usual 186 deg F, but oil never exceeded 150 deg F (measured in the pan). I rarely see over 170 deg F on the road, even on my 65-mile drive to MotorSport Ranch. On track, oil temps do rise above 200.

If my car has an oil thermostat, I have to guess it does not work.

Oh, I have taken off the sandwich adaptor between block and filter (the thing to which the oil lines attach) and it has only a bypass valve, not a thermostat.

Tim, where is the oil T-stat?
