I am runnning a 98 27 fever with and HP 500, and i was wondeing if anyone had any idea what my oil temp should be running at. When i am cruising at 3500-4000 rpm its running above 200 degrees. is that too hot sometimes it runs up to 215-220maybe.

Anywhere between 210 and 280 is good. Less and it won't evaporate condensation and more and the oil breaks down faster.

200to 220 is perfect

Is the same true for a 525efi? According to smartcraft, my oil is usually around 165, sometimes it will go up to the 180's.

I thought that seems low. My water temp is usually around 150 which seems low too.

I wonder if my t-stat is stuck open? Otherwise the motor seems to run great.

oil thermostate on hp500 is set at 212, so thats perfect...

I noticed in the 525efi manual that it said that the MAX oil temp should be 220.
