Finally completed my 5 lug conversion. But why is my oil temp goes up faster than before. Is it because I have a lower diameter and wider tires? Or just a coincidence that after my 5 lug conversion there was another issue that makes my oil goes up faster than before. On the same weather condition around 65 degrees F, I used to drive my car for about 3 miles around city which my oil temp does not goes up immediately and I only get around 180 degrees but today I drove it and my temp went to 200.

Any experienced you have had or anyone can help me figure out?

Thanks again my fellow teeners and God Bless!
