I am really confused about my oil temp....does this sound right. I can let my car warm up for about 5-10 min and then drive it around 15min and the temp never goes above 100 deg. Do I have a bad gauge or is this normal?

I never have monitored my temps before.
Jspec or Dragon could one of you guys post the average running temps from your cars.
IE.. Water/intake/oil..
This may be a topic we can pin .
Ok everyone feel free to post your average running temps.
List the
Water
intake
Oil
which guages your using and any mods that pertain to the info. Such as rads, oil coolers,intercoolers, etc..
I have been using no temp guages other the whats there , basically like if they move you have a problem ...
I will make it a point to get some guages, Defi i suppose.
Vosko your info too please. I know your dying to share some info from those new guages

I could have sworn that someone posted that the stock gauge wasn't acurate and you needed an aftermarket one. I remember mine would **** me off because it would fluctuate alot. It would flat line then go back up.

intake: ??
oil temps: 180 cruising over 40mph, 230+ under 40
guages: power fc coolant, autometer oil temp
mods: mazdacomp radiator
the oil needs air flow to stay cool, turbo timing is bad
