But John. the oil is not at 80 psi all the time.. as a matter of fact, its at ambient pressure when sitting in your oil pan, before getting picked up and pumped... and after it drains from the components being lubricated.
So we do not need to adjust the oil temp to account for the boiling point of water at whatever elevated PSI your oil pump puts out.
