Oil Temps for LS3?
Just wondering what kind of oil temps you guys are running when the car is warmed up.
Mine are 30*-35* higher than what the coolant temp is. I'm thinking that either the design of the oil cooler is crap, or they put conventional instead of synthetic in when i had it changed. Or, is it possible that the sending unit is positioned BEFORE the oil goes into the cooler as opposed to AFTER the oil comes out of the cooler?

I believe it is before the cooler. They want to show you the highest temps.

I'm looking for approximations of of how high the temps are over coolant temps during "normal" driving.

30* above coolant temp is perfectly normal
