For engine temps, it really doesn't take long to start to heat...just doesn't get very high? I actually had no idea it had an oil cooler until a week after I bought it and it was like 95 degrees out and after going on a cruise, I still had zero engine temp issues, weren't even getting high. Had stopped and hopped into a local members 40th which his engine temps were nearly 70 degrees higher. I've begun looking into the termostatic plate since I live in MN. I ususally store the car by October, but there are days that it gets down below 50 degrees before then. How much of a concern will this be for me, and what are things that can result? Thanks again for all this input. I hadn't looked into oil coolers all that much until last fall when my G37 went into limp mode on the track and I kind of freaked out. Very VERY happy about this information. Last edited by 1cleanZ; 07-30-2013 at 02:14 PM. |

Your oil temps are WAYYYYYYYYY too low!!! What are you at when you drive around? And does the needle leave 140/how long does it take to just pick up off it

34 row, thermo plate, bottom 1/4th blocked off during winter, wanna share my personal experience:
During coldest days of last winter, like around 30 to 40 degrees, I would start the car about 30 min before I leave office (just a large window between me and the car, so it's ok). This yielded a 180 degree oil temp by the time I started driving. About 3-4 min onto the freeway at about 65 mph, i would watch oil temp fall back to and stay at 160 (which commonly believe to be about 180 while circulating within the engine). Still a bit on the cool side. On cold start, even with the block off plate, it took noticeably longer for oil to climb pass 140 during winter (if getting on the freeway right away) and I would keep rpm not much more than 2k to avoid oil pressure spikes. I may just slap some tapes over it next winter, quick and easy to remove, instead of doing another block off plate. Last edited by cv129; 07-30-2013 at 11:32 PM. |
