Good info, I didn't realize that. You have to compare apples to apples. If they are recommending 170-180 after the cooler, that is similar to recommending 220-230 before the cooler.

where did you get that info? You can go online and compare the oil thermostat part number for every engine they made with an oil thermostat. From the HP500 all the way up.

I was told 210 degrees for the mercury oil thermostat. Is this bad info?

When my 525 oil temp gauges hit 210 the stat opens and it drops to 190. So it runs anywhere between the two usually closer to 190.
