well, though i'm running two really big oil-coolers, my oil easiely reaches 120-130 degrees (cesius) on hot days when kicking it in the ass. temps are measured via an calibrated internal sensor, not one of these housing-gauges. when this hot oil flows into a turbo, which runs at some hundred degrees, it's temperature is easiely twice as high as maximum allowed temperature of the facet pump.
if the pump works for you (and other guys), it's really fine. but mine died suddenly - and that suprises me not, cause running way out of specs. and i think it's important tu share this information.
we've attached the pump to another bike, not running yet, cause not 100% finished. I'll see pretty soon if this pump will survive. i'm quite sure it will die as soon as the other one did.

Cant see why oil temp would be a problem given that oil temp is well below what pumps rated at. Think oil will break down before its too hot for pump
facet pump is rated for a maximum off 55 degree celsius, 130 fahrenheit. so, i definitly can see an issue as oil exceeds this value twice under fire.

is a little bit more optimistic but to me still too low for secure use.

gave that facet a try, died after about 500 mls. quite sure it can`t handle oil-temperature. though i've got another one in spare i won't stick with it, but convert to mechanical one.
