Oil temp on my 1990 valver.

currently sits anywhere between 110 and 120 in steady traffic, say betwen 20-40mph, over about 30 mile.

it if sits at idel for a couple of mins comes back down to 104ish. when giving it some upt o about 60-70 it sits at about 108 but bounces up and (102-110-108 etc.)

does this seem normal?? Is there anything I can do to get the oil (synta Silver) running cooler??? Coolant temp is spot on, fan kicks in when it should etc.


help please before she goes bang!!!

anything above 125+ then shut the engine down.
