Update 03/30
Still waiting on parts to come in before i start any of the replacing. So far the only thing ive done was clean and straighten my oil cooler and AC condenser.
Ive been driving the car here and there and surprisingly have not reached the middle of 210F and the dot. Though it is still going passed 210F its doing a better job cooling down, street or highway driving.
Last night, i drove the car pretty hard for the first time and temps did well. Still passed 210F but seemed normal for the type of driving i was doing. 58F outside temp, empty freeways, just under 4k rpm. When took it easy it cooled down as it should but stayed just above 210F and i could see the needle fluctuate, not a ton but enough for me to notice it isnt staying still while looking down when driving. Maybe its just a bad temp sensor ?
At a stop, red light, or stand still, temps still rise but again not passed the midpoint of 210F and the dot. Just above or on the "0" of 210. Which makes me think my fan isnt cooling when it should be.
As far as oil cooler, ive checked 3 times after 40mile highway drives and its still stone cold. Which makes me believe my oil thermostat is not fully opening as Ervin87 and others have suggested.
In conclusion, im going to change my coolant temp sensor, the sensors wire, pull off my OFH and inspect the oil thermo and possibly replace it with a diverter valve.
