Another Vegas Run and Oil Temps scared me

Cjanik · 07-26-2010, 06:37 PM

I live in Vegas,

i drive 8 miles to work and home everyday. in the morning its not bad, but in the day time, its about 114 outside and my car gets to 220-240 just in daily traffic inside of the 8 mile drive.

with that said, i did buy an oil cooler. i have not seen my car go above 200 in daily traffic and 220 when pushing it.

I'd recommend if you like Vegas trips in your vehicle, to get an oil cooler. I seem to think there's a lack of air movement under the car due to the cover, to keep the oil from going up too high. that and the engineering wasn't good enough!
some of my highest temp's came from freeway driving, about a 15 mile freeway drive put me at 240 @ 75mph.
