Ever wondered what a safe temp is for your engine oil. Oil has an operating window. I measured my Jonway's oil temp by sticking a thermometer into the engine oil. This was after a 30 miles trip. I did it as soon as I stopped and was greeted by a highish 192f. I wrote to Castrol SA about this. Now the oil in question is Castrol Magnatec Professional. It is a 10w30 full synthetic oil. Not sure if it is available in the US.
I was told that the max temp one should expose this oil to is a very high 230f. I was happy with my 192f. I very much doubt if mineral oil can withstand this high temp.
