Mitaine Posted August 14, 2021 Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) 104C (219F). First time I see it above 100C. 33C outside on cruise at 112 clics (70 MPH) sunny with a tail wind. I somehow can't upload the picture, sorry. Edited August 14, 2021 by Mitaine Picture not uploading.
silverton Posted August 14, 2021 Posted August 14, 2021 That oil temp is not out of the ordinary, if you're low on oil it will get hotter than normal. If it gets to 240-260F, I'd get concerned.

Mitaine Posted August 19, 2021 Author Posted August 19, 2021 I drove quite a bit since then and it is now back in the 95-100C range (203-212F) which is typical in summer driving with the AC going. My oil level is slightly above full. I did the first oil change myself 3000 km ago. I suspect the tailwind for my higher oil temp the other day.
