when working an engine hard such as climbing a hill towing a caravan,
is there any correlation to oil temperature if I look at the water temperature gauge? I know it does not measure the oil but am I right in thinking that there is a relevance?

if my water is at the correct level and the gauge is showing hot (past 9 o'clock) then will my oil also be heading towards being "hot"?
