I have a 3rd gen 3sgte with berk tech downpipe, 3" exhaust system, running ~ 15 psi at the moment. since day one I have had my eyes glued to my oil temperature / pressure gauges. it has been always ~ 210 degrees F ( ~ 99C ) once the car is warmed up lately I've seen my olil temperature get up to ~ 220-230F ( 104-110 C ) while cruising at ~ 2500 rpms I'm using Mobil 1, I'm trying to understand why I'm getting hotter readings than before at the same crusing rpms with no changes on my setup. also what's the " safe " range for the oil temperature to be ? I know the 3s has an oil cooler that uses coolant to cool the oil down, so I checked my coolant level and is fine, I'm not leaking / losing any coolant. any input on this ? --------------------  |

that does seem a bit on the hot side to me stevenson, as for the change in temp, is that with fresh oil?
i've never monitored oil temp, so i have no hard data for ya, but 230* is definetly on the hot side for cruising oil temps, IMO. does it rise any more if you get on it? -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

I'd say it def has to given the superheated oil from the Turbo being recirc'd back to sump and then to the head again --------------------  ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 QUOTE (lagos @ Aug 25, 2010 - 10:13 AM) Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.
