What kinds of oil temp readings are you guys and gals getting in your Vettes.  Mine only comes up to about 110 degrees.  I was not sure if that is right or not.  The gauge reads higher than that but the most it ever gets is to about 110.
 
I have great oil pressure - between 60 - 80, and the engine collant has been in the 190 degree range with the weather in the 90's and bumper to bumper traffic.
 
Thanks for any info.Smile
 
Have a great weekend!

I have a consistant oil temp between 100 - 120, summer and winter here in Phoenix. I did see it go higer when I was having overheating problems last year. I have a stock CFI motor.

If your coolant temperature is 190 degrees I think 110 on the oil is reasonable. 190 on the coolant with that engine is really good considering you are way down south. Sounds like a great system.
