What should one expect to see for oil temperature? I would think itwould lag like I saw and then overtake water temp.I have massive 2L deep sump so that may sku the readings for a while anyway
I agree with your "bold" statement & theorize that the harder you load the engine the greater the oil temp over coolant temp rising to maybe 40 degrees differential. Just my working theory though.
