[QUOTE="rlepecha, post: 513844, member: 19679"] Oil temperatures can be well off depending on the gauge in use. My bus tends to run at 123 degree's in the sump when crushing at 53mph, that's measured from a thermocouple that is accurate and checked to 0.2 of a degree. I was originally running mineral oil and switched to synthetic because of this. I don't know why my engine runs this hot, I've got a proper fan shroud and flaps etc, the only modification is that its 1641. I can only presume the oil cooler is partially blocked. I can't help with what temp your engine should run at, but worthwhile knowing your gauge might be off. [/QUOTE]
