Oil temps: 335 comparitive observation.

Mitco39

I took a drive in the mountians this weekend. With the oil temp probe in my oil pan on the freeway at a constant 70mph the oil temps would sit at 210F. On some windy roads at about 50mph the temps would climp up to about 225F. Keep in mind this is not while driving it hard, this is while following campers and other motorists through winding roads. Nonetheless it seems quite high to me. I didnt notice any change in throttle response or in the way the car performed however.

Mine usually sits at exactly the same or a little higher, usually the 220 mark. This is regardless of what the ambient temp is but of course if I start driving it hard or am in a lot of traffic, it will rise higher. At first I was concerned about oil temps when I bought my car 4 years ago. After reading a bunch and keeping an eye on how high it gets (never seen it get over 250), I dont worry anymore and consider it normal. Ive also never noticed any loss in power. Maybe when the ambient temp is 95 with 90% humidity, but thats not due to oil temps...
