50 degree ABA I4 layout like yours. VDO gauges in the A pillar. MobIl
1 15W50. Syncro with lots of fiddlly bits.

Cold start up presides of ~75 psi.

Warm idle of ~15-20 psi.

Intown high temps of 220-225F. Haven't seen a pressure lower than 30 off idle.

Sustained highway driving at 75mph I've touched 240F with no drops in
pressure ~65psi.  A touch hot me thinks.

Thinking about a larger oil/waterheat exchanger or a separate D pillar
oil cooler.
