Oil temps
I was wondering where the oil temperature is measured in the motor. I fitted an oil cooler and normal driving the temp only reaches 175 now.

Do you have a thermostat or is it always circulating? I think you'll see lots of threads on track day drivers reporting much higher temps, like 200 and above. Sorry that wasn't a direct answer to the question, but it does seem low.
Did you put it on for a certain reason? Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk |

I believe the temp you are seeing is post oil cooler. Thus real Oil temps are 15-20F higher. I suggest you get a different thermostat or use block-off plate. Most ppl agree 270-280F is getting up there. For me that's too warm. I sit on track around 230-240F. Street its much lower. I also run 5w-30 oil 24/7 365

The typical oil flow path with a sandwich plate oil cooler is:
The OEM engine oil and pressure sensors are located just downstream of the outlet of the oil filter. That means that if you have an oil cooler installed, it will measure post-cooler oil temperature. Even with thermostatic sandwich plate, the oil radiator will still see some oil flow (and therefore cooling) See post for source image: https://www.ft86club.com/forums/show...8&postcount=90 |

Your oil temps are post oil cooler and you safely add 30-40F to the post cooler oil temps.
It has been mentioned in a lot of other threads. You will also find that some like their oil temps high and don't believe in a cooler for a DD car whereas others are more cautious and prefer a cooler. I believe a cooler is needed based on my oil temps when driving hard, meaning spirited. In autocross i reached 270F easily. |
