Yesterday there was a thread about oil temperature. Someone commented that oil must get to 100 deg C in order to evaporate moisture in the oil. This is correct. However, generally oil temp should follow the water temp and not be too much above it. While oil may be able to withstand higher temperatures, there is a direct relationship between oil temp and bearing fatigue life, so its best to keep the oil temp in the low 100 deg C range.
