Thanks for your reply, I understand that it would run hotter on the track etc, but not that hot!! The oil is quite new as well (Quantum Synta Silver 10w40), but I am tempted to change it now. I've been looking at oil coolers as they are def a good idea for the track like you say. It was dark when I got home so didn't get a chance to check the oil, I'm going to have a look tonight, thanks for the pointers :-) Anyone else experienced this?
