Oil Temp

[traum]

Hey all i just installed an oil temp gauge in my r33 and was just wondering what is a "normal" reading? Im getting readings of about 90-100 degrees, which i think is high casue at 100 up to 150 the gauge reading goes to like a red zone which i take it as being to hot?

Thanks heaps

Probably a little high. I never let it go over 130 on the track but obviously that's thrashing it. 100 on a very hot day maybe with some hard driving.

100C is fine... I'd be gettin worried when its 120C+ as the oil starts to thin out considerably.

Oil temps needs to be over 100 degrees to "boil off" the water that it aborbs in normal daily running. Hence 90 to 100 degrees is 100% normal.

cheers
