Message: [QUOTE="TARM, post: 412520, member: 578"] First off do not get to worried 220-230 is nothing for out current oils today to be fine with and in. 250+ is time to get concerned. With that said your oil temps are higher than average. I very much doubt it has anything to do with your HPOP itself. First thought is you have a oil cooler than is in need of cleaning and a rebuild. Its likely to some degree clogged. But to narrow it down more info is needed: What were your oil temps before you made all these changes or is the first time you have had oil temp sensor data? As the oil temp are effected significantly by coolant temps what are your coolant temps running in ratio to oil temps. I.E. Oil/Coolant 220/? 195/? etc Was your fan kicked on most of the time. (You know it when the clutch locks and the fan fully engages. Sounds like a jet turbine) Normally with higher than normal oil temps and coolant temps in the normal range the first thing to suspect again is a clogged oil cooler in need of a rebuild and cleaning. The 180 t-stat is not the answer IMO. The idea behind running one on a DD IMO does not make sense. There is a reason they came from Ford and IH with 195-203 tstat. In your situation at most if it helped at all it would only be addressing a symptom and not the real issue. Oil and coolant temps should run close to each other (15-20 degree). Oil temps below 190-195 will increase engine wear does not fully burn off condensation accumulation, is not up to the viscosity it was intended to run at etc... Best performance and longevity is found between 195-225. [/QUOTE]
