Jagg Deluxe, always had this thing about Oil temp, currently running Mobile 1 20/50, with cooler thought I'd drop down to 10/40....It gets HOT up here and it's dry!

I live in So Cal, so I know the heat I run 20/50 Amsoil synthetic and have never overheated ran in 110degree days. It definately won't hurt to run a cooler I was just curious.
