Ambients real metric is the temp differential and your cooling management systems
capacity to reject heat (BTUs) to that ambient temp air
Thanks Ben, my Van consistently sees normal operating temps of 197-203. This Pentastar has an Engine Oil Cooler that is cooled by the engine coolant. There is a 8-15 degree delta on the oil temp. The oil temp is always lower temp than the coolant. Makes me wonder if the engine oil cooler is actually an engine oil warmer. Lol
I suspect when I tow heavy with the Van this will change and the oil temps will go up.
Thanks!
