502 MPI High oil temp! Any Suggestions?
A Friend of mine has a 97 502 MPI with oil temp at 290 at WOT. The motor is all stock with 415 horse. The oil cooler is mercruiser standard for the motor and is mounted verticly in front of the motor. The water temp is 150 at WOT. The oil pressure gauge never changes. It is allways 40 pounds. There is a remote oil fiter installed and that is where the sender is located. The oil is mobil 1 15/50 syn. Boat is run on lake michigan. Any suggestions on where to start would be appreciated.
