Oil temperature

Dallaz

Mine has hit 245ish when driving spiritedly on the highway, and I'm pretty sure your oil should not reach a certain temp much higher than that or it needs to be changed right away because the temps change the viscosity of the oil past operating specs or something, but maybe the temp would have to be like 300 and that's why limp mode kicks in at 280 or around there. Looking into oil coolers is a must, especially in TX where I'm at

n i was using eneos 5w40 right now i just put in motul 300v 5w40 hoping i see a difference in oil temps and also i started my car today not even 2 mins later the car was already at operating temp (coolant temp) this car gets hot quick and stays hot i wish they would of done what mazda did with the rx8 for coolant temps is keep the fans on for a little while after the car is turned off to help cool the coolant and prevent some damage to the engine.

do tb bypasses,oil catch cans,and some under hood cooling mods with a toggle switch to your fans.even in a run i did to 150 mph in 75 ambient with high humidity.my oil only went to 219 from 200 oil temp at beginning run and cooled back down rather quick.up rev fan control is a must !!! i use pennzoil platinum

where can i find all the info to do these mods? tb bypass?? keeping the oil temp down is important at least to me as i want my investment to last me i dont want to have trouble with the engine before i finish paying the car off and run out of warranty that would suck lol

Just put in a 25 row oil cooler with thermostatic plate. All problems resolved you won't see over 220 even driving insane. I live in Houston and drive in 5:00 PM traffic where I see temps up 110 temps never go above 200 running normal and only up to 220 when flooring the heck out of it for sustained periods.

and adding an oil cooler is all good but it still doesnt have anything to do with the coolant and how hot it gets which is why fan control is recommended.now,you will want to remove as much heat as possible from going into the engine via intake unless im missing something lol.the tb bypass and catch cans helps to do just that.
