Right. But what he's saying is the oil temperature in these cars is determined by a computer algorithm, and the computer doesn't know if you are using synthetic blend or full synthetic. Because of that, you likely won't see a difference in the gauge.
Thats great. But oil needs to be above boiling to burn off condensation. Temps in the 220f range are normal. Not sure why you are obsessing over this. 😉
Agreed. Not sure why people trip out when they see it over 200F or 220F.
That said, the OP is running temps higher than me right now. And live on the surface of the sun. I still don't think 230 is concerning on its own, but he says it's suddenly much higher than normal...IDK what to make of that. 🤔
Ok, but those air inlet temps are what I see this time of year in Phoenix. It couldn't have been a "cool morning". Lol
And why are you letting it idle that long?
