Im seeing even cooler oil temps now since I recently switched my Mtech front bar to the M3 bar with ducts and now air flows directly through my cooler now compared to the fog light set up that's on the Mtech. I'm sure the cooler temps are also a contributing factor.
Took the car for s long drive a few nights ago while ambient temps were around 14 degrees and the oil temp was around 95, maybe just under. After about 5 wide open throttle runs it remained the same.
I don't normally give my car a hard time until oil temps are around 95-100 anyway so if I've been driving for more than 20-25 minutes and the oil isn't getting warmer than 95 I'm comfortable with that as my operating temp.
If the temps get a lot cooler and I find my oil isn't reaching 95 on a daily basis I will return the factory setup just for the winter months.
