RE: oil temp gauge

Steve
Sounds OK to me.Oil temp should be 60-80 for normal driving and you cooler stat will be about 80 so 110 gauge is fine.

RE: oil temp gauge

Is that 110 degres F or C?
if it's C then I would expect you go over that on a good hot run maybe on a track day or similar.
In general it should be fine though.
