IS everyone using this thermostat, or is there a way to bypass it. My oil temperature has been running pretty high, and I have not noticed any point where the temperature levels out for a time, like when a thermostat opens.  I wonder if mine is working correctly.

Todd,
That oil temperature delta also seems low to me, though I’d be happy with 180 oil temperature.  You mentioned a oil thermostat, and was not aware of a thermostat on the oil other than the oil pellet, which I removed. Is there another thermostat ?  Where is it located ?

Steve, the thermostat is on the same side with the banjo fittings and on the outside looks like a big bolt head. Look where the arrow points to.
