FWIW, I get the same kind of readings from my LBC after she's warmed up. When
I posted the wuestion about that a while back I ended up getting the entire
range of answers from good to bad. I plan on adding an oil cooler sometime in
the future, but I'm not going to worry too much in the meantime. As I add
oil, though, I'm going to go with 20W-50 instead of the present 10W-40.
