High Oil Temp = power + throttle response loss?

initialgemini

Oh i believe you about the oil temps shooting up. On my way home I drive up a steady incline for about 14 miles in traffic and I see temperatures easily reach 220+ on a cool day. On a warm summer day, I can get the needle around 250.

The engine heats up pretty fast. So loss of power due to heat soak would not be surprising.

first off i have gotten the engine hot so i believe you, second if i'm going over 50 and cruising i'd be in 6th not 5th you'd be suprised how much that effects your oil temps. when your cruising around try keeping your R's right around 2 not 3 thousand it will help considerably. i save the higher revs for when i'm having fun or racing it otherwise i stay low so that when i do want to screw around it's fairly cool. I can say that on a long road trip doing 73 on cruise control in 6th it stays right around 220

all the vids of going WOT were taken on regular roads here in SD. And since it was like 630 traffic was heavy so I couldnt really do any 6th gear cruisinjg. Too much down shifting then upshifting to get to 6th for a few mins isnt worth it. 3k rpms isnt a whole lot for most cars, so on the vids when I was driving during the day thats what it will look like at around 15 mins. When I drive to Hemet from SD and I am in 6th most of the time it will get around 230 at night.
