An engineer once told me "anything less then 130 celcius and it's too thick".  As he worked on designing the Valencia engine I have no reason to doubt his advice.

actually with the rad cooling water and oil, I should imagine the temp would be pretty much the same?

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

But then you're cooling it with something that's about 100 celcius anyway.

Wish I could find some textbooks, then I could give yo a smart-arsed answer.
