I forget, Piute, are you running some type of synthetic oil?  The synthetics won't break down until the temperature gets up to 400 F, however, the seals, and gaskets, will still be damaged by anything over 250 F.  The synthetics will avoid carbon sludge, and they will function as a lubricant, and coolant, while the dino oils are just falling apart...  Thanks for the details on temperatures.  Data makes all the difference.  Cheers!

   No fake stuff here YET,
 I'm using Valv.50wt. in Summer,Till I get this oil cooler thing figuard out,Then will go fake,I personaly don't like it but is better,I change my oil about once a month no-matter how many miles,filter every other change,(much faster and less mess).With Syn. in my El Camino at 1st leaked all over the place,All O.K. now,So I do know that it can get by the smallest holes(witch is great inside eng.)Elc. never leaked before.OR now(Damn timing covers gasket are a pain on A 350)
