Hi all,

 

I'm noticing oil temperatures around 105 and 110 °C when driving slightly more dynamic. For example on highway at around 100-105 mph or when pushing it on normal roads for a few minutes. 

Not sure there are even high or not. For example a friend of mine said he is getting temperature only around 95 °C when pushing it on the highway.

 

What temperatures are you guys getting?

That is not high if the ambient temp is above freezing.  Just as long the normal oil temp is showing in the low 90's and your over 100 temp drops as you drive less spirited all is well.    Remember and check the oil level is at the higher level as the car does the first 5,000 km.  Do not rely on Warning lights or messages.  Check the level when the oil Is at normal operating temp, so above 80 degrees indicated when engine off and parked on the flat.      PS, maybe drive your friends car and them drive yours.  Not all people drive the same.

Thanks for the tips. Oil was changed 400 miles ago. But I will anyway check the level again.

You are correct about the ambient temperatures. Didn't think about that. Mine was around 12°C and my friend's was only a few degrees above freezing.

Next time I will also give more attention to how much temperature drops after such driving. But if I'm not mistaken, it's always in high 90's, even when driving easy. Will report back.

So I did some more driving today. It was easy driving all the way on B roads between 40 and 50 mph in normal mode. Ambient temperature was around 4-5°C and the oil temperature was always between 98 and 103°C. 

 

Should I be worried?
