My guess is high revs? I did do like 6 grand changes idk, I think thats the only thing that could explain it. Cuz the other day I was on the highway and was in 5th and accidently put it into 4th and it revved 7-8 and my oil temps shot up immediatelty. I think thats proabably what it was, because after a while of crusiing in 5th on the highway it cooled down again.
so idk. I think my assumption about the revs are right though.  |
It is very weird I must say. A sudden rev-up should not bump up the oil temp that much. Sometimes on the highway I would downshift to 3 or 4 to pass some Prius cruising at 50 in the left lane, but I hardly see any increase in oil temp if it's just occasional high rpm. On the other hand, cruising at 80 mph for half hour will do. For 6MT, the engine rev at 3000 rpm in 6th at 80 mph.
