I just installed an oil temp gauge into my 71' transporter I have never used one before. In most of my reading everything has said the oil temp should be at 190 but one of the VW mags. said that since I am using a dip-stick sensor the temp should read under 260 since the oil is in the sump and has not passed through the oil cooler. my question is what is my max temp. and what should my avg. highway temp. be reading? thanks tim
