I have an oil temperature gauge and I was stuck on a highway, the gauge said 200 degrees. How close was I to frying my motor? Stay safe
200? NOT GOOD!I have an oil temperature gauge and I was stuck on a highway, the gauge said 200 degrees. How close was I to frying my motor? Stay safe
Yep, above 212. I drove Atlas 2.0T last week, 225-230f depending on how I was driving.The operating oil temp in our Jetta that runs VW 508.00 (0W20) normally runs around 215. I'd say your fine.
I ran 200 and under for a long time, no issue, my UOA showed hardly any moisture in the oil.200? NOT GOOD!
It should be above 212f.
Sure, it will take longer. Try to squeeze that sucker moreI ran 200 and under for a long time, no issue, my UOA showed hardly any moisture in the oil.
My Pentastar oil was 222F no matter on or off road yesterday … coolant was 215F and the ATF was 205F …200°F is fine, 220°F is better. As mentioned before, at 220°F it'll evaporate moisture and fuel way quicker.
Correct. A very knowledgeable GM power train engineer on this forum said 310* on conventional. Above that, syntheticMy Air-Cooled Harley runs 170* on a cool day, 230* on a hot (90's) day at 75MPH interstate driving. it is still well below any break-down temp of the oil. Start worrying when it exceeds 325*.

No that's not what I said at all. You are one of the better knowledgeable members here , maybe re-read my "rant" ? lolSo you're saying anyone's engine should have at least three oil temps senders?
