Try going up a good grade at 120 MPH in atleast 105 heat (I did Baker and the thermometer read 126) running the AC you will find out what a warm oil temp is you can get a lot hotter on that gauge with no problems (watch your water temp if you run a grade though). 100 is enough to boil water not oil. I started to worry when I hit 140+-.

Mine runs at 175-200 on the highway with A/C. Never seen it higher except when my electric secondary engine fan was burned out.

i have 140k miles, so that might have something to do with it...now that you mention it, it's possible that my secondary fan is out...it's possible that it's been out since i bought this car, because i don't remember ever hearing it engage now that i think about it....****, i hope it's not out...david, you've scared me now....do you think if it is bad i could get one of those universal electric fans and put it in myself?
