They are nice temps, some spots here can get a bit warm, 35-38 is really hot enough, road ends up twice as hot......................
My oil burner is nice but I would like a Hemi, I'm over diesels, I want grunt with growl now......

It's in Ceduna, covered in salt spray, besides as much as I luv 'em, I'm cutting down on my tool collection... Actually it is tempting I just need money and a hoist as it would suit me to a Tee............... Me and a proper Rangie are a good fit.......... when I win Lotto I'll rock by with the car trailer ................

Don't stress too much about the oil temp...I have spoken to others and one Jeep specialised workshop owner has seen his oil temp in his WK2 while towing hit as high as 138c...his wk2 has 240,000 k's on it with lots of towing so the high oil temps haven't bothered it too much.
Mine has hit 122c towing 2700kg on a longer uphill grade...
Key is... regular oil changes...above changes his at 5,000 kms. I have always changed oil at 90 days regardless of K's. But will push out to 5,000 kms going forward as I was seeing oil changes at less than 4,000 kms based on the kms I traveled which was definitely an over kill...
