I have a 200 block running around 570hp and I'm Currently using castrol edge 10 60, I've had the engine out and I'm sure before the oil temp used to be about 93 degree ish but now it's running around 94-97 when driving and I've had it hit a 100 when in traffic (not over) is this high or does this sound normal? Oil pressure and water temps seem ok.

That's normal, the weathers pretty warm at the mo. Over 100 isn't a bad thing, in fact the opposite!.

100 in normal driving is fine,

On track I don't let it go past 125

I will run mine to 140 deg C at max.

I'm glad this has come up as I was going to ask a similar thing. Mine at the moment is running a little under 100 on normal ish driving conditions. Running around 400hp with the standard oil/water cooler.

This was the reason i changed the thermostat in my sandwich plate from 85oC (standard supply) to 93oC i think it was.
