[quote=Soft06;1805232]Mine is an 06, but should meet the criteria you ask for. I have taken several trips to the deserts here in California on 95-100 degree days and the temp on my dip stick thermometer never rose higher than 230 degrees. The ONLY time it get's any hotter is if I get stuck in traffic. But once I get moving, the temperature drops back down quickly. I personally am of the opinion that an oil cooler is just good insurance, and to me, peace of mind.

Using MoCo Oil Cooler. Also So Cal and across the deserts at 115F+ ambient temperatures I've never seen anything north of 245F Oil temperature. Outside of extreme desert, I usually see 190F - 210F with the cooler where-as I regularly saw 255F+ without the cooler. Not sure what oil temperatures have been at with a 115F ambient without the Oil Cooler.

My 07 Heritage with the SE pipes ran down the hi-way at 240 on 95 degree days.
I put V&H long shots, with a new fuel mgmt. system and Amsoil, now it runs down the hi-way at 225, so I might be getting an oil cooler also.
