No oil temp thermostat on the NA. Mine reads 180 cruising on the highway in average 80 degree weather. Sitting in traffic on a hot day brings it closer to 210. Lately, some of the cooler days have given 170 cruising on the highway if the speed is slow. Cruising at 75 mph plus with my short 5th, ~3600 rpm, it'll hold more like 190-195. The factory manual specifies 80 deg C oil temp when doing tests dependent on correct operating temp, such as CO adjustment. I haven't been able to drive it hard for long enough to see how high it runs under high performance type conditions yet.
