[Fot] Oil temp

[Jason Ostrowski]

My GT6's also run in the range of 200 to 240. I have been told that is even to high but don't know how get them much lower than that. 
Either way, I am always concerned more with oil pressure. Keep an eye on that as often as you can take a peek at it. I think about 65 is good.  An oil pressure warning light can help immensely and can save a problem from turning into a big expensive problem. If the light goes on and you don't have at least 35 while cornering that's not good. If it drops below that in a strait line shut it down promptly and figure out why. 
Good luck have fun!

I've read we need to maintain a minimum oil temp so we don't damage the motor. What should the minimum temp be for racing?  Also what tire pressures do u run with
