oil temps and long distance driving

Fountainhead · 08-17-2014, 04:02 PM

Same here, drove 1200 miles with nothing other than normal temps. Around Orlando in damn hot summer nothing over normal, that's interstate stop/go and downtown stop/go traffic. In Orlando I4 is parking lot.

Man, people really sweat what amount to normal oil temps. You need 210-215 to boil off any moisture that can accumulate from short, around town trips anyway. I did install a Z1 24 row cooler on mine, but mainly due to where I live. OP, don't sweat the trip at all. If you have kept up on the maintenance, you'll be fine.
