oil and water Temp, WOW

danegrey

So I did Atlanta Motorsport Part on Wednesday, hot hot hot, 93 with heat index of 103.

First time I have had Oil or Water Temps that were high.

Oil hit 260, I do have a 34 roll Setrab Oil Cooler current using Castrol Edge 5w40
Water hit the 13/14 red dot, yea hot -- running water and
Red Line Water Wetter
Now everything did cool off, when the 20 minute sessions were done.

Now I have reviewed the following
Water temp and oil temp
best oil for track
Just me driving in circles on a hot day
260 oil temp with 34 row cooler.... help!
The above were great reads

Now trying to figure out what to do:
Thanks Rusty for the following:
The power steering. Only fill to the add line. Do not top it off. Then fold a shop rag up, and gum band it around the cap.
Going remove some power steering fluid and do that.

As to oil, its time to change the oil, was going to try MOTUL 0w40, but might not find locally, then will try Castrol Edge 0w40.

As to the Water Temp, not sure what to do:
1) drive slower in hot hot days
2) Replace the water pump, its still the originally and car has 70K
3) Do not track when temps are in the mid 90s. This is going to be hard, since usually pay for events ahead of time

So open to ideas/comments,
