colintandy:

Range Rover Blues:
An engineer once told me "anything less then 130 celcius and it's too thick".  As he worked on designing the Valencia engine I have no reason to doubt his advice.

hobbit:
actually with the rad cooling water and oil, I should imagine the temp would be pretty much the same?

But then you're cooling it with something that's about 100 celcius anyway.

Wish I could find some textbooks, then I could give yo a smart-arsed answer.
