I have heard that operating temperature is considerably higher than that. It needs to at least get to 212 degrees F in order to burn of the moisture that builds up in the oil from condensation. I think that maybe your guage is reading low.

my oil temp reading is taken from the port near the oil filter.
I used to have a oil temp reading of 200-220 and recently have had a reading of 240. I just had my oil analyzed by Blackstone again and there were no signs of oil breakdown due to heat.
I may move the temp sender to the HPOP or add a switch to check both temps

Just for kicks I disconnected the oil temp sensor on the HPOP to make sure that is where my indication was coming from. Appearantly it is not..? Not sure where else the PCM would get the data?? Is the sensor near the filter stock?

I like it. I have been looking at getting the DP tunes put on it, just not sure if the couple hundred bucks is worth it. The unit drove me crazy with cable failures the first couple months, but it seems they have figured those out. For me, with a mildly modified truck, the inclusion of gages and a code reader functions was a pretty attractive package. I also managed to pick it up on a pre-production sale, so at $350 it was hard to pass up.
