AS far as your temps, they're fine. During autocross, I probably see temps as high as that after a run or back to back runs. Usually this is right be between the 190 and 270 marks on the 2017+ gauge, so about ~230.


Guys on the track see higher temps than this, up into the 260-270 range. Typically you're told if it hits 270, it's time to back off and if you're hitting that, time for an oil cooler.


If you're spirited driving / mountain roads and stock, you probably don't need an oil cooler.
