I'm curious as to what everyone's average water and/or oil temps are. My full 3L runs around 215 on the water with the oil trailing about 10-15 degrees.

As for oil temp, high-way cruising at 2600 RPMs (~60mph) it fully warms up to about 180-190 degrees or so, at 3200 RPMs (~80mph) it fully warms up to about 210-220 degrees. This is stock SE cooling system, no oil cooler. 1996 Contour SE 3.0 <Alternate Site on CarDomain>
