normal oil temp?

I just installed an oil temperature gauge and I'm wondering what the normal range of temperatures should be.

No more than 140 celsius, that being a little high actually. Preferrably in the low 130s (at a track, hot day, driving hard).

*searches google and converts to F*

140 degrees Celsius = 284 degrees Fahrenheit, cool. I am showing up to 210 driving around for a little while so I think I'm good, thanks.

good to know, I am using the sandwich plate as well, but I am also running a non-aftercooler SC so I expect my temps to be a little higher.

It depends A LOT on where / how your gauge is hooked up, so don't take any number as gospel.
