I don't know what water temp is thermostat opens at 87 if I remember so coolant could be 90+
oil in the gallery and bearings will likely be much hotter than the sump temps I'm measuring so maybe the little cooler is doing a good job it needs investigation IMO.
I have one on my tin top DG and I'm going to fit a tap so I can drive it, measure temps, close the tap and see how much it increases.
Can't do this on the DJ becuse I have no temp sensor.

^^ last week did the same trip is 15 degrees outside and the oil temp was about 10 degrees lower then when measured at 25 degC outside.
