What could cause the normal running temp of my oil to increase?

M@r]{ · October 24, 2007, 03:46:38 PM

After some opinions. What are some possible reasons as to why my oil temps are reading a lot higher than they were? On a run it used to sit between 83-86 degrees, now it is sitting between 90-93. So roughly 10 percent higher. Same increase when hammering it as well. Ive carried out an oil change but so far it doesnt looked like it has solved the problem.

I do have a single oil cooler and, as you have probably noticed, I am in the process of getting twin coolers. This will only help to bring the temps down, it is not curing whatever the problem is causing my temps to be running higher.

Any ideas?

a word of advice, never give you better half your password, especially if she owns guinee pigs! dont worry mark, they dont live long!

as for the oil. have you used a thicker oil in the change, thinner oils run a little cooler. is all your plastic ducting to the cooler still in place? have your fins on the oil cooler become more damaged/bent recently. just things to look at

could be your oil sender, older oil, etc?

Cheers for the advice Tony! I\'m having new oil coolers fitted at the weekend, will see if that brings anything to light

And the way Cheryl treats them Guinea Pigs (they eat better than I do) I have a feeling they are going to be around for some time. They\'ll probably outlive me!!

mark is obviously schizophrenic, i think we should have him banned. Anyone who uses guinee pigs as stress relief obviously has problems, i find they break when i squeeze them!

Cheryl, make the car as pink and fluffy as you like my dear, I am in touch my sexuality, plus i have sold the car so i dont care

first time without an RX7 for many years
