Howdy

Been lurking here for a while but got my Z on Jan 1. Did my first oil change on Sunday from factory to Mobil 1 5w-20 at 3500 miles (late, I know..). Planning on doing a homebrew oil cooler and DIY similar to ModShack but with braided lines, but have noticed a sharp, consistent rise in my oil temp since the change.

Before the change I would run at 200F all day, maybe up to 210-215 when pushing it hard. Now on the full synthetic I'm consistently running around 210, getting up to 220-225 under higher revs.

I'm not super concerned since I plan on adding a cooler in the next month or so but wanted to make sure I'm not missing something major here - or if any of you have experience with this after the first change.

Oil levels are good, haven't seen or smelled any burn-off, everything else seems to be copacetic - any ideas/advice or am I just being overbearing?

Hi. No advice. You're being overbearing.

LMBmikeZ · 03-19-2013, 10:18 PM

Wow, hey! Welcome to the group! Hmm, running 225 in a '13? That's a tad warm.

You have little to be concerned about. The oil temps aren't an issue until 250/260. But a cooler is a good idea if you plan on tracking it or really ragging it out on a hot day.
