Thu, 17 February 2005 07:52 the problem of too low a temp is that the oil never heats up enough to allow the volatiles (like fuel etc) to vapourise, and that leads to faster oil breakdown. keeping a thermostat and elec controlled fan will mean you will not be too cold... i had a 90deg thermostat and car ran ok with carb.. changed from an 82 deg, as the manifold was not heating enough to prevent fuel dropout (and build-up), but with EFI, car sits on 82 degrees all day (except when outside temps are over 40) i would guess 80-85 is a good operating temp.. you also need to match your grade of oil (the hot number, ie 40, 50, 60 etc) to your operating temps..
