Title: oil temp
Post by: richard s on 06 December 2007, 21:27

through summer oil temp never seemed to go above 98 now its often between 100-108 could this be a sign of the oil needing changing

either that or dodgy sensor...my 8v sits at mid 80's on motorway at 70mph...
creeps upto 95-98 in traffic...will go over 100 if been having some fun...
no harm in doing oil change. and filter as well...peace of mind

sounds perfect to me, dont worry unless the oil temp goes over 135 or temp gauge over 3/4 :)
