[legend01]

Hi Guys

What would be an average oil temp in a modified rb20det be. Mine seems to run around the 85 to 95 mark without being in traffic is this about the avearge ?

Cheers Peter

I beleive for normal driving your average oil temp would be almost the same as your water temp, so 80-90 is normal.

What about oil pressure? isnt it equally important

Oil Pressure is more important

I only have a cheap pressure gauge, but i have already noted where the pressure usually sits. Don't care if the gauge isn't 100% accurate, as long as it is consistant.

When the car gets really warm (20 mins of driving), mine is anything from 90 to 95.

Oil pressure when I start the car is 6ish. When it gets warmer itll idle at 2, when you revv it a bit, pressure increases to around 4.

Usual oil temps are btw 80-95deg. When driving hard with 38-40deg ambient temps can see 110+ but drops quickly with an oil cooler once you back off.

Higher pressure is fine....its low pressure you gotta worry about. When pushing hard on high boost I can see pressure of 8 on my gauge
