I dont like the bit about - "Running an engine at 180F for about one hour, is hot enough to boil off the normal condensation". ....so for about an hour its ruining your engine?

TIPPA:
Okaaay... I don't think that guy flips burgers for a living...;laugh 69DR I doubt the "condensation" picked up and held in the oil would be wearing your engine for an hour nearly as much as the first 5 mins of warm-up.
Seriously, if you pull the dipstick during warm-up or within that hour there would be so little water in your oil of course you wouldn't notice it. And oils these days are pretty advanced  so i'm certainly not stressing about it!:b2

So if I have a 88 and it runs that runs at 194 to 199 is that a good thing? because until I read this article I was going to fit a 180 degree thermostat!
