90 to 120 range that's the 200 to 250 in F, for me... it never touches the 120.. the highest usually happens when stuck in traffic... I'm in the tropics with temps reaching as high at 40. Spirited driving brings up oil Temps to slightly above 100 approx but goes down quickly when you slow down... have a 3rd rad too... the usual I would approx is 90 to 100 c

The oil temperature seems to always be around 200F for regular street driving. At HPDEs, I tend to see ~250F. But this past weekend, I saw 275F for the first time. I assume it was due to the ambient temperatures being about 95F, and the fact I was constantly running the A/C, but don't know for sure. It freaked me out a bit. I plan to do an oil change soon.

I hear ya! I hit 265F and freaked me out.

on the way home from my event the temp went back to 200-205F

Q 997.2 C4S

Yeah, mine went back to "normal" on the way home, too. I guess 265/275F is ok then?
I'm just going to try to avoid doing HPDEs when it's this hot in the future!

I’m considering a 3rd radiator

2010 C2S, 35,000mi. I drove about 45 minutes in late afternoon heat yesterday (95deg). Some heavy traffic, some open road. The car showed peak temp of 225. I've only had the car a couple of months and that's the hottest temp I've seen on the gauge. No track time.
