Oil Temp

Recommended Posts

I was following 16vg60 up to inters on friday night doing about 85 mph trying to keep up with him. I had checked my oil before and after the run and i was getting at 70mph oil temp of 104 but at 85 it was nearer 116 - 120. I have an oil cooler installed behind the front grill should i be worried !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My vr6 gets up to 116 too.

 

usually sits around 106 on a 80mpoh cruise.

 

sounds a bit high for an engine running an oil cooler though.

I have to really push mine to go over 100 degrees since fitting the cooler which is also mounted behind the front grill (16 row by 145mm)

 

At present i can sit at 100mph constantly and the oil temp will not go over 100c, The highest I have seen it is 106 and that was at 120mph for a good few minutes, I expect it will go higher when the weather really gets hot but i'm happy with the results so far, a 20 degrees drop!
