My z06 never gets above 180F on the factory oil cooler.
Btw RobC has some super duper oil cooler upgrades so that's why he can achieve about 180F which I think is a good place to be on the oil temp, personally.
A majority if not the only reason BMW runs higher oil temps is simply for emissions and pumping losses. The viscosity for most oils is pretty much the same throughout the normal spectrum of temperatures ranging from 120-200F.
The water comments are quite comical. 
I must have a gallon of water in my 10 quart system if that's the case haha. |
Lol! The water thing really gets me.
