Ideal Operating Temp

All yall saying 160 is too cold, let me propose this. Get your shower water to 160...IF it will even get that hot. Now stand there and look how much steam is comin off that water. Still not convinced? Then get your nekkid azz under it.

There are many variables here. First, as always is said, this is tune dependent. Secondly, it's also a time thing. Get your junk runnin 160 and take a five minute drive for ice cream or wherever over and over. Not good. However, if you're like we are, the closest town is about 25 minutes away. That's plenty of time to get any nasties out of the oil and if you don't think any moisture gets evaporated out, you gotta nuther thing comin. Lots of yall are forgetting about another thing called OIL TEMPERATURE. You may have regulated coolant temp to 160 or 170, but oil temps routinely get higher than 200.
