Has anyone noticed a correlation with oil temperatures and bearing failure? As an example, the oil temperatures began to rise and then *pop*.
Not saying that mine are fine (I've already purchased BE's as preventative maintenance and waiting for them to arrive, however), but I've noticed that my oil temps are always lower than anyone else I talk to. Most seem to be 210*+ constantly whereas mine never seems to even reach 210*. Of course I'm going off of the inaccurate needle on the dash, but I'm assuming I'm somewhere around 190-ish once I'm up to temp.

I don't mind the oil temp on the low side, only healthy in my mind. Prefer half a needle below mid than above during normal highway driving. Mine however climbs a tad in stop/go traffic and further after some spirited driving.
