Default High Oil Temps @ Laguna Seca

I just installed a Greddy oil filter adapter with oil temp & oil pressure.

Car is stock 2002 except for PRM cold intake and Invidia exhaust.



After approx. 4 laps I was seeing 273 degrees, water temp was 180 to 190 and oil pressure was steady at 70psi.

Anyone else see these kind of temps?

Thanks in advance!

Hey Dave,

This is the old setup. Oil came from the adapter plate to the filter then through fittings to the temp sensor. From there to the oil cooler and then to the engine.

In my new setup i'll be measuring the temp of the oil going into the engine.
