SV: Oil Temp again

["Roland Johansson" <scirocco@mail.bip.net>]

Hello

Oil temps from my 1,6 turbo motor with oil cooler is around 85-95 Celsius around town, highway around 140-150km/h around 110 Celsius.

Water temp is just above led around town and just below led highway.

On the racetrack oil temp hits 130 Celsius before I take a few laps cooling things down, water temp between led and maximum. Bigger oil cooler and water cooler needed for track but on public roads enough.

For the record, my oil temp averages 85-90°C at about 60-70 mph, 95°C when stopped in traffic. Highest I've ever seen was 114°C, after about an hour at 85-100 mph, although the ignition timing was too far advanced at the time.

I've just had to retard the ignition so I can use unleaded - haven't noticed much difference in performance or mpg though.

Regards,

SC

my old 8v's oil temp used to run at 100c when moving decently on the highway, and about 115-120 sitting in bumper to bumper traffic. Now my 16v when moving stays about 80-90c on a very hot day when moving, and about 100 when not. any thoughts on this?
