Default It depends

On the type of driving and oil I use.

Currently, with the Renewable Lubrications 10W-40 PCMO, I'm seeing 70 mph cruising temperatures of 201F, with the temperatures peaking up to 217F on occasion.

For those that are interested, the manual says that 120C (248F) is the standard operating temperature for the engine. And that under hard driving it can go up even higher.
