blue95 0 Posted June 7, 2009 Bit of background, I am running the BAM 20vt lump, uses a rallye rad and inetrcooler. I seem to be getting water temp of between 85C-95C and have struggled to get the oil temp above 86C. I am running VW synta gold engine oil, the engine gets up to temp pretty quickly so am pretty sure its not the thermostat. Is this oil temp too low? What do other 20vt peeps get?

StuartFZR400 0 Posted June 9, 2009 Water seems fine oil seems fairly fine too; but if in doubt you can ask manufacturer for optimum working temps (if it doesnt say on tin). Alternatively, you could try a semi synth (keeping the fully in a tub) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
