Hey guys! Just picked up a trueno blue 86 a few weeks ago and I love it so far. One thing I did notice in the past few weeks were the oil and coolant temperatures. This has happened a few times were I was driving to work or back and I can see the temps go up randomly and sit there for at least 10-20 mins before it cools back down. Im still breaking in the engine so not doing anything crazy so just wondering if this is normal or should I take a look at something.

77F is about 25C, so not particularly hot (outside temp), but the oil temp is well over 100C which I've never gone over in street driving . . .
(Just so you know, most of the world uses Celsius as a temperature scale rather than Fahrenheit)

216F is only 102C, it can get there easily if you are driving on the freeway fast. If you do a pull into the highway, it will get there quickly
On road, I see 120c / 248F max when driving hard on the mountain and just under 100c when on a cruise on the motorway

Same, especially if it's a hot day or muggy evening.
Fahrenheit? Jeezo, haven't seen that anywhere since about 1970! 
But as others have said 100c plus, is easily achievable with some spirited driving, or even stop-start traffic driving.
