Just for S&G my tow car (Jeep Grand Cherokee with Pentastar and trailer towing package) has readouts for coolant, engine oil, and transmission oil temperatures.
With a 180F thermostats and "aggressive" radiator fans, nothing gets over 200F even with AC on MAX. Coolant usually runs 90-100F over ambient. Biggest boon to transmissions is lockup, temp stays down when locked. I'll drop a gear or two on Interstate hills to stay out of PE and in lockup. Agree, racing is different (why I had a 3.55 in my B/P Corvette) but for street driving that's my guideline. |

"Redline seem to do the trick. I'd guess oil temps even with a cooler was in the 300+ degree range. Amazing stuff and pricey too."
X2 Ester based oil .

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
