there seems to be lots of conflicting arguements out there as to the maximum safe running temperatures for the engine oil.
i've been told that 90 degrees is about normal, but much over 100 degress and the oil will start to degrade.
however...i've just bought the millers cfs 10w60 and it says in the literature that it 'can handle continuous temperatures of 125 centigrade, with intermittent running to 150 centigrade without causing distress.'
so as long as the oil can cope with the higher running temperatures does this mean that the engine itself would be happy to run all day at 125degrees[?]
