Weather here is variable - summers tend to be long and hot (90-105) but the rest of the year is moderate to cool. We often have cool/cold weather with no rain, so winter driving is not the rarity it might be elsewhere.

In two long drives (25 minutes each way), driving moderately, the oil temp never got over 60. I might wait to see how things go when I drive longer trips, but it looks like for some good part of the season and for any trip that doesn't involve hard driving or high speeds, oil temp is going to be an issue.

I was also looking at the 200* unit, not the 180*.

My thinking is that if the Mocal is good enough for the Porsche guys...
