So I have that p012f code or whichever is for oil temps being higher than coolant. My coolant is staying at 195 however my oil is getting up to 224. The gauges are normal deadass in the middle actually oil is slightly left of middle like 105 degrees out of 180 like circle measurement not temp. Also im finding a weirdness in my ac/heat it blows hot down to being set at 65 then set at 60 ice cold. I'm thinking thermostat and a cooler flush( hoping not oil cooler gone bad) have any of yall run into something similar to this. Thanks in advance for any help

Yes your oil cooler is suspect. I would do a vc9 coolant flush, then remove tstats, and re flush 3-4 times with distilled water, then replace oil cooler.

Whs^. And as to your gauges, theyre really just idiot lights. They use a stepper motor, so when it reads hot, its really ****ing hot
