What's the ideal oil temp? And what brand/viscosity oil?
From what I have read I'm in a good range of 190 to 210 for oil temps.I ran a 10/40 dino oil on breakin for 150 miles. I just switched to 10/30 Synthetic which can see higher temps and not break down.
An added bonus with the oil temp gauge I can insure the oil is warmed up before a dragstrip pass.
