Normal Oil Temp Range ?
Does anybody know the normal Oil temp range for a 13b?
I am about to add an oil temp and pressure guage but I do not know the temp range so I can buy the correct guage.
TIA.

Well, I just found it on the Racing Beat website.
The normal oil pressure in a stock Mazda rotary is approximately 71 psi above 3,000 RPM, (110 psi above 3,000 RPM in the 1993-95 RX-7) and should never drop below 15 psi at idle (use a 0 to 125 psi gauge). Normal oil temperature varies quite a bit depending on the operating conditions, but usually stabilizes between 140F and 200F. If the temperature exceeds 210F, reduce the load on the engine immediately or shut it off. Continued operation above 210F may damage the engine.

Oil temps depend where the temp is taken.
Here is a useful link thanks to RETed:

I take my temps at the oil pan and will see ~150-180 farenhiet cruising on the freeway. Road race conditions will bring it up to 230-240+ farenhiet.
I have not had any problems so far but want it to run cooler so I do not have to back off after a few laps.
I am upgrading the oil cooler to try and keep the oil temps around 220 or lower (hopefully).
