I have a 427 (454) S.O. that runs 40-50+ psi oil pressure. I believe my thermostat is a 160. The 4500 CFM fan kicks on at 180F. My oil NEVER gets over 70C and often times barely moves the needle. I run 10-30W regular oil. My oil has never shown signs of milkyness rather just the normal color change as it gets used. I do drive my car "energetically." I have used a temp gun on the oil pan as well as the lines coming from and to the oil cooler and they are in the 130-45F range. My oil temp sensor is on the remote oil cooler adaptor on the block. From reading this thread I am guessing my gauge (Autometer) is not accurate and should be replaced. Any suggestions?
TIA
