Not sure what you were logging because there isn't an oil temp sensor on these cars.

Maybe coolant temp. Rad fans don't kick on until 210 so seeing over 200 isn't that big of a deal.

90-95 in vacuum isn't load at all. 16lbs of boost and 100% throttle for 45 minutes straight is hard load. The coolant temps will probably still run 180ish running that fast on the highway due to all the airflow and still very low load on the engine.

Youre probably right... It may have been the Subaru. That was at 21lbs and cooked oil like crazy.

Once I get the can installed Ill be able to draw more conclusions about my oil situation. Just havent had time with school and work
