Don't worry mate, my car sits at just under 90 but if I push it a bit or get stuck in lots of traffic it will go to 100. On the motorway at a steady speed it will stick around 85

Hi there
I wouldn't worry about the higher temperature,with mineral oil you can have higher oil temps there
Yes good gauge with good sensor is always good to have,if you have poor gauge with poor reading sensor,you will be more worried than driving without the
Do you have oil pressure gauge too?
Thanks,Jura
Yes that's correct there
Thanks,Jura
Just don't worry about the engine,I've been worried too when I've heard anything and I've logged almost on daily basis or after every driving etc
I know how is it
Good luck there
Thanks,Jura

I would say not my oil pressure sits between 6 & 8 if it drops below it means for me the oil is running a little low

Also remember number 3 is the hottest part of the engine. So you will often get a higher reading there. That is where mine is, as a safety thing. As jura says presure is important. The needle flickering, a fluctation of pressure is the usual warning sign to look for, not so much a steady lowish or highish pressure reading.
