I've never seen it get over 80c. Usually, it stays around 60-70c assuming the gauge is correct.
I want to try blocking the cooler to see how much the temp goes up, when I find something suitable to cover it.

80c = 176f


Conversion

0.555(degrees F - 32) = degrees C

(1.8 x degrees C) + 32 = degrees F

This should be the correct formula.

so based on the formula 50c should be just below 148f, right?

You are correct.

Your math skills are still up to par.

I knew the man's math skills were adequate, I just thought that he counted in increments of twentie$$ though. HeHe

This should be the correct formula.

The first equation is right.
The second one should read: (1.8 X degrees C) +32 = degrees F
e.g. 1.8 X 100C + 32 = 212 F

You are correct!

Obviously my math skills are not up to par.

I fixed it, thanks.

when I put my oil cooler in I also installed a oil temp guage. You might want to install an oil temp guage first to see what temp your oil is getting before you install an oil cooler. It's less time and money. Just a thought. Brian
