<VV> Oil temp

[MarK Durham]

Contradict? Not really. At first he gives a range of modern engine temps,
then cites a specific example, then gives a second general range operating
range.
Keep in mind that just because a thermostat opens at say 195 F, that is not
the temp the engine IS. It is only the temp the thermostat opens at, to
begin cooling. The higher the pressure in the system, the higher the
temperature will be.
