Hmm, my '00 generally runs at about 198 F. I guess it's because I don't "Drive it like I stole it."

It was 95 degrees yesterday. HOTT!! especially with the top off. In traffic I hit 228 Oil Temp, and 220 Coolant. That is the hottest I've seen on mine. I read somewhere that synthetic oil protects above 230, I've also heard that our all aluminum blocks run hot, and that those temps aren't out of the ordinary.
