From: David Y [mailto:goob@adelphia.net] Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2005 4:32 PM Temp was stable at 180-190F around town. Then I got on the freeway (65mph/75 degrees outside temp) and within 5-6 miles the oil temp was up around 230F+ so once again I had to pull off to cool it down.

To get a reliable one you should get the engine up to your normal operating temp then turn off the engine, safely coast to a stop, then read the plugs. If you cruise back home and allow your engine to cool and idle the readings will only tell you how your engine runs at low loads and speeds.
