oil temps

[matt_corradovr6 0]

oil gets pretty hot on a blast (over 120) and i was wondering if my heat exchanger was knackered. where is is located and is it cheaper to change it like for like with a new part or get a mocal???

mocal will be better but the std one is going to be cheaper,its where the oil filter screws in btw

Hey my car started beeping today and i checked the oil temp and it was 100!

Could this be the same problem i checked the oil level and thats fine, is there an easy way to check if the heat exchanger is screwed!!!!Um any advice?

Cheers

...Oh, and as for the buzzer, that'll be your oil pressure - Have a search on here and you'll find a few threads about it.

you usually get water/oil mixing as the thing corrodes from inside, sometimes mistaken for a headgasket failure as you get emulsified oil in the engine.
