Everyone with oil temp issues

GaryTheSnail · 04-24-2009, 05:56 PM

I was driving home yesterday from center city Philadelphia and was lucky enough to sit in 3 hours worth of traffic going into south Jersey. The car was pretty much doing stop and go all the way home and never got the revs passed 3k. I finally reached the Walt Whitman bridge and I noticed my check engine light is on and I look at the oil temp gauge and its reading 270ish. I pulled over and turned the heater on and let it sit for 10 mins to cool and got the oil temp to drop below 260 and a min later the check engine light turned off.

Took it to the dealer today and they changed out the oil and checked the engine over and said the engine seems to be fine but were unsure why my temps jumped so high.
