Oil temps in the North East USA?

[Lyle Seaman]

If it worries you, throw a sheet of cardboard in front of the radiator to
block the airflow.  I do that some winters, but just because I imagine that
it helps warm up the cabin faster.  I don't understand all the obsession
with engine lubrication, myself.  I've never had any car problems which
would have been avoided with more frequent oil changes. All my cars have
finally died from rust.  Maybe in better climates, they would have lasted
that long.  Lots of transmissions, water pumps, alternators, electrical
problems, suspension and exhaust parts, head gaskets, interior bits breaking
and falling off, ignition malfunctions, valves, you name it.  But
oil-related catastrophes?  Not that I can think of.  Though there was that
sticky hydraulic lifter on the 70 Coronet, so.. Maybe one.

Any listers observe their oil temps the last few days/weeks?

I'm getting just barely over 150 degrees on my 12V V6 most days/nights. Any
cause for concern you think?
