I've just fitted an oil temp gauge and was wondering what temperature it should be reading (when warm!)
The reason I ask is my mates temp in his GT4 settles at 65C but mine settles at 95C? (MY95 WRX)Why is there such a difference? or is one reading incorrectly? Paul |
Where's the sender unit located in the engine?
The reading on my MY96 in the gallery over cyl 3 is just over 180F for normal use. (That's about 85 C IIRC) I should add that it's hotter when I drive the car hard, so 95 is not unreasonable based on my car... [Edited by dnb - 22/06/2003 13:17:16] |
As dnb pointed out, "normal" also depends on how you were driving at the time. I see anything between 75 and 100 depending on ambient temperature, traffic, driving style, etc. Longer spirited runs will see it going above 100.

I've got Defi's on a MY99 (RB5)
Normal driving 90 min 95 max Fast driving 95 maz 110 max Silly driving 115 max Don't put any torque into the engine till at least 70 c Sometimes that can be 6 or 7 min's after the water temp is at normal. Now ypu have gauges you will see the true heating up process Adam |
Thanks guys, looks like my readings are OK.
dnb, the sensor's mounted on a gadget between the engine and the filter! |
