Oil temp question

[sherman306]

How hot should my oil temp get before I start to worry about it in my xu10j4rs?

I think if it starts getting past 120-125 it'll start to kill the oil but I can't remember off the top of my head what mine used to get to after a hoon.. that said mine was a phase 2 and didn't have the oil cooler built into the radiator like on phase 3's

depends on the oil your using
mineral based semi oils break down at lower temps than fully synth oil

on mine before i fitted the oil cooler temps on general driving temps ranged up to 95c
but soon as you hooned it or track abuse i did see close to 140c on a semi synth oil

this is the point i decided i needed an oil cooler to which i dont see over 90c now

Haha I feel better now mine doesn't get that hot just over half way up the gauge and I always use fully synthetic oil

As above, halfway is fine ?

Drop me a pm with your contact details mate, interested in buying your car.

Without a cooler I got mine to 140 on track (very hot day)

But now get s to max 95-100 still not ideal but with a bigger cooler I should be fine.

Nor am ally in town if in sat for over 5 mins it starts creeping up.

It's not really a bad thing that the oil gets past 100 when abusing it, keeps moisture from building up

Mine sits around 90 with normal driving
