my classic used to about 90oc but just lately it been to 100oc on normal runnong ,oil gets changed regularly and always use millers 10/40 as recommended by opie oils ..

what temps are you guys getting with your gauges

i have prosport gauges in mine

thanks guys

 

About 90 with millers cfs 10w50 for modified engines

 

I average around 90 but if I'm stuck in traffic some times goes up to 98

 

On a modified 2.1 was running 92 on a gentle pootle, high 90's at motorway speeds, moving into the 100-105 with hard running at high speed. Idle saw no higher that 92. Oil cooler now fitted. 90 in most scenarios. Hard running no higher than 96.

 

include where the sensor is located on your set up guys as it probably matters.

Sensor position above no.3 cylinder.
Gauge is a Stack Pro Control, with matched sensor.
Oil is whatever subaru dealership put in at last service (Previous owner) and is midway point to being changed again.

At this time of year normal is indicated around the 100 Deg C point. Drops below (98 ish) on calm low rev driving or idling. Raises up to 110 ish on Motorway. 105deg on the A road to work with bursts of rapidness.

2.0 wrx PPI 2005 motor with 40 odd K on clock.

 

Check both oil and coolant levels.

 

oil and water ok ....

how many rows did your oil cooler have in that you fitted ?????

come to think about it i think its only been this high since i had it mapped at zen ????? but not 100% on that

 

25 row, with thermostat.

 

mine sits about 90-95 normally raising to 100-105 with spirited driving

 

my car runs at 80-85 and on the track it goes to 100-105 and on a 7.5 miles rally stage it goes to 110

 

just ordered a 19 row toyo sports oil cooler kit ,

should be here today fingers crossed

 

my wife rally car was sitting at 100c on nromal running then 115 when on stage which is a bit high so just fitting a 19 row thermostated to try and get it down to 100c in stage. using millers 10/60

 

the reason your temps are higher than normal is due to the fmic cutting airflow.
mine went from 85 to around 98 when the fmic was fitted

nothing to worry about as up to 110 is fine.

 

On a hot day well not hot but a warm day. Above 15C I used to get around 85 on normal driving 90ish when pushing it now and again and 110 when really pushing it

 

The temps on my 05 Jdm Sti dont go much higher than 90 degrees even when stuck in traffic after some spirited driving. I have a front mount now and its still running the same temps a when I had a top mount. Gauge is an unknown make from Ebay though. Steve.
