ok after an engine fail i have fitted a Oil Temp and Pressure gauges

Oil using right now is valvoline 10w40

now what i'm wondering is what is the Max Temp the oil should get to when booting it .. as its peaking out at 105c

normal temp seems to be around 85>90c

but the other problem i'm getting is when it is up to temp

and when the engine drops back to idle or gets around 700/800rpm when pulling off the Pressure will drop to about 10psi and set my gauge alarm off ..

but normaly around 30psi ish

but the gauge on the car dosnt drop below 1/4way but very slow

my gauge is all most Instent movement when throtteling

 

so the Q is

 

is my Normal temp OK

is my Max Temp OK

does my Oil Pressure sound ok

 

could i use my auto oil cooler as its bigger than my oil engine cooler or even both ?

 

Thanks again

Mark

yeah me to and its better but still kinda does it when at high temps

just wondering if oil is to thin at 90c+

Would a Diffrent grade of oil be better for keeping Pressure higher and temps a little lower ?

 

if so what grade would i need

 

THanks again
