Oil temp question

Spooler · 06-12-2015, 03:12 PM

I got the same results when I switch to Amsoil Signature Series oil. My temps stay at about 215 cruising. Use to be 220. So, a little improvment. Push the car hard in the upper RPM range and the oil temps rise. I have gotten mine to about 240-255 or so with the stock oil cooler.

Amsoil seems to be great oil and doesnt sheer at high temp. I ran ss 5w30 in my 5.0 for 8k with over 30 passes at the track. Sent a sample off to blackstone and they said it was perfect, could have even put another 4k on it.

Anyway i couldnt wait... About to put my car on a lift and see if my 12 has the cooler on it

I switched to Amsoil signature 5w30 just a few weeks ago. I have noticed consistently lower oil temps by 10-15 degrees, even on 80* days, and I do not have an oil cooler. I will say that it takes much longer for my car to reach operating oil temp though.

Previously I was using Valvoline Synpower only because I get it for free. But I wasn't comfortable with it anymore.

Good info, Im going to drain and fill with SS tonight. That oil can take a beating. Im curious what the redline users have to report with with temps.
