Hello, I am driving now in Greece and I have noticed while going up a mountain and lots of luggages, that the oil temperature reached 135 degrees. The coolant temperature was constant at 90 degrees. While going down hill it came down to 115 degrees but not lower. No warning light was displayed in the dashboard.

I have seen before the oil temperature going as high as 120 degrees but never above. Is it normal for the oil temp to go so high? I am 1000km away from home so I am a bit worried

Thanks!

The oil change I did 2000km ago with Motul 8100 5w30

1. The quality of the answers will massively improve if you specify which engine your car has.

2. The coolant temperature is not 90 °C, it's software that keeps the needle at 90 when in reality the coolant is anywhere between 70 and 110... With OBD software you can view the real coolant temperature.

?

What was the ambient temperature (air temperature.)?

Be sure the oil level is nice and high, but not overfilled.

Up in area A of dip stick, so full quantity in doing the cooling.

The engine code is cffb.

The oil level I checked and it's in normal limits ( a range) same for the coolant level. The outside temperature was 30degrees

Same engine here in France, last week with 37 Celcius on the motorway I had 122 Celcius oil temperature on not so steep climb. Nothing to worry imo

Thanks for the answer, meanwhile I have asked 2 mechanics and said I should not worry. It's a bit confusing the information I get on the net saying the max. temp. should be no more than 110 degrees. I have my car for 10 years and constantly I get oil temperature above 110. So the I will relax. Thanks again!
