Your Preferred Engine Coolant Temp “Part 2”

Mattax said
I've read that the coolant and oil temperature relate to some extent during warm up and under moderate use. Under high loads, the oil temperature will go its own way and can need its own cooler. Makes sense but I don't have a good way to verify. Likewise I beleive those who say the oil temperature in the pan is lower than the temps when its through the engine. That certainly makes sense.

The pan Temps might reflect the coolant temp a little bit,paw used to have a chart on coolant temps and expected oil temp. The actual oil in the engine through the journals , it's about 70° +/- or so degrees hotter than whats in the pan.
Depending on the bearing.. typical bearing starts breaking down after 330 or so degrees and melts around 375.
