What is the ideal Oil Temp for an SR20DET?
I'm looking into getting an Oil temp gauge, and I'm wondering what's the ideal oil temp for an S13 SR20DET.

my redtop ran around 195-200 on good hot days, but I never saw it above 185 after the oil cooler instal, then my gauge broke, (stupid sending unit)

In 120 degree weather my car runs at 181 degrees (coolant), so I guess, jsut try to keep the oil around the same as the coolant? On 70-ish weather, my car runs at about 170.
