Oil operating temperature
- Thread starter glanza97
- Start date
I am forged TD04.... it was sitting just under 80 all the time, but lately have been getting readings up to 110c...... I got 110c the other day after 10 mins of driving even with no boost. I have an oil cooler kit with inline thermostat installed. I take it the sensor for my gauge is knackered or I have air lock in my oil.... in which case I have no idea how to get rid of.. although I was under the impression the thermostat got rid of the air lock

mine reads 90 - 100 driving around and upto 130 after a good boosted run on a hybrid, no oil cooler

your oil operating temperature should be around the 80-95 degrees centergrade mark.
My mocal oil cooler thermostat will open around 85, so i guess that close to were you would want it.

Im having problems guys, my oil temp showed 100 degrees celsius this morning - without boost, I gave the smallest amount of boost just before I got to work, and the car went to over heat (according to the toyota clocks), my water temp gauge... which has the sensor installed in the top radiator hose never went above 70 degrees celsius.... I carried on driving and the toyota clocks went back to temperature... I got to work and the heaters went cold. I gave it a new water thermostat last night, bled the system up... I don't know what else to do... =(

Check the sensor on the stat housing, sometimes the outer casing of the 2 wires which go in to the spade fitting split and cause a speradic reading. I cut them back, installed a new spade and the water temp has remained fine on the toyota gauge.
With regard to your oil, have you checked the oil level? What oil temp gauge are you running? Have you checked the sensor is in properly and theres not a loose connection on the sender?

Oil level is just over half way (I have a leak from my sump plug), exhaust isn't smoking and there's no gunk under the oil cap. Toyota temp gauge gets to temp pretty quickly, just like normal I guess. On my aftermarket gauge (with sensor in top rad pipe) it takes a while to get warm and hasn't been over 70 since I installed it the other day
Rads not blocked dude, my alternator belt had been squeeking for months, so I put a new one on her last night... so far soo good for today... no overheating... however.... oil temp is still high compared to craigant for example... before I fitted my oil cooler it never went above 80, since fitting my oil cooler and thermostat its been hitting 90's 100's and 110's... got a new oil temp sensor just incase so will try that tonight...
