Engine Oil Temp

Your oil will be AT LEAST as hot as the coolant. In many cases of hard usage, HOTTER. The OIL does the work cooling the engine. The anti-freeze only soaks away some of the heat.

Plus, if your car has the stock cooling and oiling system, your oil and antifreeze are going to be roughly the same temp due to them using the same cooling system capacity - the barely-adequate, thin, radiator.
