Personally, I don't buy it. 260*f sounds extremely low to be a maximum safe temp, maybe they meant under 260 is "ideal".
Second off, from your screenname, I take it you go to/went to NC State. I graduated from there in 2008.  |
The ecu pulls timing and the car loses power when the oil temps get to 230F. I think that is solid evidence that 260F is too high.
