Those of you who think oil temps are not a problem until the needle gets to the top of the gauge should do a Search and read up on this matter. What you would find is that when the needle gets to the mark that's at about 10:00 on the gauge, the oil is getting too hot. At that point, it is getting into the 250 degree F range, at which oil breaks down.
