Quick question so I will bump this thread up - if somebody had an oil temp gauge installed, at what temp should they back off and/or come off the track? is there a safe(r) temp <= XYZ temp?

I just installed an oil temp and oil pressure gauge (pressure sensor replacing stock pressure switch and temp gauge in the matching port on the other side) - now that they are there, what do I do with them?

I have some ideas: like check the oil pressure after turn X on the straight, RPM is usually XYZ so see if the pressure is the same each lap at that point. Or check the temp at a certain spot and make sure it is at or below a certain value.

What is a dangerous temp?

Thanks

Steve
