I like mine right at 220-230

I don't know how to drive it and build a campfire under it at the same time???
I change mine once a year, it accumulates about 1200-1500 miles between changes. My concern has been that many (if not most) of us have the engines set up as the were, void of any emission devices, big Carbs (Webers, Double Pumpers, etc) and the rich mixtures encountered tend to allow the oil to become contaminated to some degree with fuel. This is one of the reasons that engines didn't really last a "Long" time compared to what is expected by today's standards, granted the oil formulations have improved greatly. I still get the "Warm Fuzzies" knowing the filter & oil are relatively fresh.
It's been mentioned here before: Each time the engine temprature warms up and cools it passes through the "Dew Point" and moisture is created.
