is your friend using the same grade of engine oil as yours?
100 degree is normal for me. been using oil temp gauge for 1+ year..
i would like to rephrase what dr snape 79 said..anything more than 110 degrees for oil temp is dangerous IF you are driving slowly, carefully, never ever rev to redline each and everytime you change gear.
if you are on long distance journey..and maintaining speed 130km/h and above..dont be surprised if your oil temp gauge reads beyond 100 degrees to 115. i've experienced this. nothing happens to my engine. no overheating occurs. using idemitsu semi syntetic.
i've been driving from penang to jb quite a few times. slowest was 120km/h. fastest was 180-190km/h. most of the journey 130-140km/h
my friend once told me..on his track days.his gauge reaches up to 130 degrees man..its an endurance race.
high compression engines are hot bro..and rev limit very high some more..if we keep driving hard and always reach the valve lifting point, u can see that the oil temp gauge rises very quickly..
i am not a VTEC user. but i use the same identical engine that applies the valve lifting tech as yours. just dropping my experience
another suggestion would be, try swapping/cleaning your oil temp sensor.
