Temp on my car stabilizes at 90C (194F) according to Torque, so just like Ozzman.
Not sure about thermostat fully opening, but I noticed the electric fan's turned on at around 100C (212F). I had to leave the car idling for a while before that happened tho. I had a look at a few people's log files and they all seem to be stable around the 90C range. I just installed a Cusco Oil Cooler (Water cooled), so interested to see if I get any increase in coolant temp, so far no difference. |

I haven't done enough testing yet to give you a definitive answer. I have a track day later on this month which will tell me.
For road driving it seems to work good enough, but I am still a bit worried if the stock cooling system will be up to the job. Guess I should really go for a spirited drive one of these days and find out |

Hmmm, I think I have to check how I installed it.
I hit 120C oil temp last night. It did cool very quickly though, just a few seconds off the throttle and the temp went down fast. Maybe I installed it wrong :S Water temp was around 89C. |

Sorry, it's been garaged for the past few weeks. Saving money. Track day this weekend Seems like I didn't fill the radiator properly as it still had air in it, so previous tests were a bit flawed. I think it's all sorted now |

@normancw
See picture attached. Hit 126C after 3 full on laps (first peak). Then I cooled off the brakes a bit, then went for it again... The biggest advantage is the rate at which it cools the oil back down when you get off the track, only a few seconds after I got back to the pits, Oil temp was down to around 110, a few secs later and it was at 100. All in all 11 laps, roughly 1.26 to 1.40 per lap. The track was really harsh on the brakes and I had some cheap pads so that's why I backed off a bit in the middle. Ambient air temp according to the car was 21C Mods: -Cusco Oil Cooler (The new version which also fit's AT's even though my car is MT) -Motul Hi-Tech 0w20 oil -Genuine Toyota Blue coolant (From Japan) -OEM oil filter Everything else is stock. |

I am using an OBDII to Bluetooth converter (A Cheap $12 one of eBay).
On my Android phone (there are alternatives for Apple products), I run an application called Torque. In Torque I enabled data logging and specified which items I am interested in logging. The oil temperature requires a custom PID, but apart from that it's pretty simple. Then I just copied the file to my PC and created a graph. If you need more information, this site should have plenty of threads discussing the above. |
