Driving with a filled block

I want to have my oil above 180 all the time, if it is colder it starts to go bad soon, collecting water, fuel and other crap. 250 F is ok for even the crappiest oil, 300 and more for better oils.

i have always heard this also(oil above 180) closer to 200 from my experience, to keep condensation vaporized out of the oil. now frequent oil changes and limited use like a pulling truck, may very well make this less of a concern.

I would think 200 is too low, closer to 212F. :)

212f is the boiling point of water at atmospheric pressure of 14.7psi. water does not have to reach boiling point to become evaporated. collected moisture in oil can be vaporized out of the oil under 212f. over 212f would remove the moisture faster.
