[simonoll 0]

Hi guys

now summers almost here and the suns out, the engins running hoter

not sure about you but i drive with the oil tep up on the dash and the water temp on the clock,

ever watchin um and keeping it below 85/90c, give or take on the water and today got the oil up to 110c

what kind of temp is every one else runing and what is considered a normal opp temp for the vr6?

 

 

cheers

My oil temp runs at around 90-110c when up to temp, depends on how fast I'm driving.

 

Water stays at around 90-100.

By the way the analog dash gauge is the water and the digital temp gauge is the oil.

 

110 for oil is fine when on a spirited run and/or hot weather / traffic etc

 

My temps are same as Chris' but the water can read about 85-95 depending if im in traffic or not.

 

Yours sound normal to be honest

Thank guy's, just checkin as i have just put a new rad, oil cooler all new pipework, cluch, heater matrix, inner and outer cv joints and a 2nd hand 80000 mile engine, as when i got the car it had a blown engine and so a little over parnoid with every noise i hear and smell,

so far seams to be running sweet, for the moment.

I have similar oil temp on my 92 VR6 with 75K mles on it. Yesterday out side temp approx 84-87 F ambiant. My oil hit 116 F.(without AC) What oil temp. is when you really have to get worried...?

 

The engine is stock. Just replaced the Fan Radiator switch. I guess my radiator fan motor speed unit is bust & works only in top speed. I have a manual switch to get the fan working sooner.
