Default Oil Temperature

Just wondering what temperature your oil is at when:

1) Normal Driving

2) Sat in Traffic

3) Driving as the designers intended...

190-210°F in normal, never went into trafic jams since I have an oil thermometer (and I try to avoid anyway) and I go over 240 when I push it
(I have a 19 rows oil cooler and a 335bhp GGR setup)

on my defi gauge, I get 70-80 degrees C on normal driving and in traffic and about 90 degrees if I give the car some death

I have a big wing sump which holds more oil and keeps cooler

That's really cool. Did you do any 2-3 gear laps on slow track? I wonder what temps would be then...
