The oil temperature gauge displays the average oil temperature from all parts of the engine. Some areas run much hotter than other areas, and high temperature radiant heat from the exhaust pipes increases localized engine and oil temperatures. Excessive temperature in this area decreases the life of valve guides and valve guide seals.
