Oil Temperature

[2rismo]

What oil temperature does your RB25DET run at? Both cruising and under load for extended periods?

Cheers,

I have the chance to pull my sump in the next 10 days and have a sender fitted. Then I will know after 12 months of wondering the same thing. Technical advice from Shell indicates a minimum of 80 to prevent sludging, but preferably under 120 to avoid degradation.

Yeah on the track I never go over 130 but generally stay under 120.

It seems that a number of fluids in your car - radiator, auto trans, engine oil - like to run at about 80-90.
