Oil temp once again
#1
Took the car out for a drive today, doing between 70-80mph at just under 10psi and the oil temp was hitting 116oc when my warning alarm is set to 118-120oc! So I slowed down but I'm kinda worried about how hot it was getting Confused anyone got any comments?

Question is why is it high... There's little load on the motor

Probably because with your Tiny turbo at 80mph you are boosting 10-20 psi. Putting more load on everything.
On the 306 waiting list.

Only the turbo that's working harder, not everything else. Air temps will be hotter and so will the oil passing through the turbo but nothing which should raise the temp above the usual. Don't know what the usual oil temp is but I'd imagine its not too far off the coolant temp.

IIRC 130 or 140 is about the limit of what you wanna see but if you got a cheap ebay gauge you could be a long way out anyway.
