At least 160°F maybe 180°F is normal with a thermostat, depends on which you choose and whether you have a pressurized system and whether you use permanent or alcohol antifreeze. Water doesn't make good lubricant in oil. Water freezing in oil pumps causes splits. Oil floats on water so the bottom pickup for the oil pump pumps water preferentially. Oil with water foams when pumped. Low temperatures cause poorer combusion efficiencies. Gerald
