Everyone with oil temp issues

corbin09 · 07-02-2009, 09:03 AM

I just got my 370 2 weeks ago.. I have put around 1200 miles on it(drove it a lot to break it in) and the other day sitting in stop and go traffic in the great state of texas my oil temps reached 260, I pulled off the highway on the access road and before noticing how hot my oil was, i decided to do some "spirited" driving. Temps just kept rising slowly until I let it cool in a parking lot it was really close to 280. I will be bringing it to my dealership on mon. or tues. but when I called i was assured that this was normal? and that the car was meant to run this hot....I DONT THINK SO. Long story short im pissed i just spend 30k+ on a car i cant drive above 4k rpms in the summer. Not okay by me.
