Yeah a 180f t-stat has 10% flow until 160f then gradually opens until fully open at 180f, but i believe what mike was saying is the oem sensor is post filter/cooler and is then only reading temp after its been cooled. So I could easily be at 190f coming out of engine but oem sensor is reading 170f going back to oil pan. With 0w20 im just not going to worry about it once oem sensor reads 160f ill full send. Maybe ill tap a line pre cooler someday to test it.
