Oil Temp

Jayhovah · 02-13-2017, 12:09 PM

My gamma oil pan keeps my temps pretty well in check in the FL heat, even with intercoolers blocking my radiator and no additional cooling mods. Another member asked me to do a test at around 75 degrees... at 77 degrees, I did some spirited driving including 4 full boost runs up to about 140 and my oil temps didn't pass 215.

I also deleted the OEM oil cooler... the only difference I can see is that it takes about 30 additional seconds on my morning commute for the temp needle to lift off of the stop... no observable impact to max temperature.

Z-Girl, the factory oil cooler (and radiator) cooling fins can get clogged with bugs etc. I cleaned mine recently with a nylon brush. I don't see those kinds of temps unless pushing it hard.
BTW....Mobil 1 says, their oil is good to 300 degrees. I wouldn't push it to that, but that's what info says.
