I have something like this. Most of the time, the needle appears to
sticks at about 60C. But driving on the Autobahn for 6 hours at speeds
up to 140 - 150 mph the needle does get up to 90 C. It just takes a
while.

Now either I have a great oilcooler which is highly unlikely. Or the
temp sensor has an extraordinarily long rise-time like  6 hours which
is also unlikely. So I can't figure out either what the deal is
either.
