oil overheating unique to vq37vhr engine?

Endgame · 09-04-2010, 09:10 AM

The RX8 would have oil temp issues and I think some of the early models did and they had an oil cooler. I had a 2006 and it had 2 oil coolers.

This just may be my ignorance, but I do not buy the whole 'the VQ is a high performing engine, that is why it runs hot' notion. Do not most engines have similar setups?? I know it is an inline 6, but did the E46 M3 have overheating issues??? Same type power was produced from it.

I think that is the VQ37's issue is that it does not have oil coolers. I would like to see a Stangs or a Genesis oil temps. To the earlier point, do they even know what temps their oil is reaching?
