I have a apexi 'temp' gauge and im deciding weather water temp or oil temp one would be more useful to monitor in an rb20det. As i havn't got either a radiator hose adapter nor a oil filter plate yet.
Obviously the water temp gauge which comes stock on cars is not extremely accurate, cant really say that its very useful.
As far as my little knowledge goes, a factory thermo stat keeps water temps stable so it shouldnt change much after its reached a certain temp while the oil temps can fluctuate quite a bit depending the the way the motor is being driven. So by saying this, i would be leaning more towards monitoring oil temps?
what do u guys think?
i use my car for mainly street/daily driven purposes with the occasional squirt down the hwy/fwy
ive tried searching on forums and google for 'oil vs water temp' but no luck :S
Thanks in advance,
Tuyen
