I love synthetic oil and it can tolerate hot spots better than conventional oil. The serious open road racers seem to add oil coolers, but that is probably only needed for sustained high speeds/loads on the engine.

Subject: [DeTomaso] Oil temperature
Once again, as summer approaches, cooling becomes an issue and topic of some discussion. Rather than beating the radiator, water pump, thermostat, and pressure cap horses to death, I thought I would pursue the oil temperature. So, all you gurus, what is the normal range of an oil temperature in these beautiful beasts? My next little project (get in line) is to install an oil temp gauge. Waste of time? I guess I need some feedback. All input is appreciated.
