matrixprotein 33 Report post Posted November 30, 2019 Sorry if this has been covered before. What are ideal oil and coolant temperatures for driving. Gone turbo so dont really know what to be looking out for (will use torque app). Also when starting up and cooling down what sort of oil temps should I be aiming for. Thanks Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nerdstrike 186 Report post Posted December 1, 2019 In the standard car, steady-state coolant is usually in the low-mid-80s I believe, rising up to 105 which is about as high as it shouild get with out it being a concern. Oil tracks coolant except under duress when it can rise well above, with the perceived wisdom round here to be a max of 130 before cooldown is essential. With a turbo at stake, you might want to keep it lower still. 1 matrixprotein reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted December 1, 2019 Around 90-100C. I've noticed it's quite easy to get it to 120C with spirited driving on the road. I have found on track it will get over 125C after a couple of laps. Really you don't want to go over 130C, but it does seem to stabilise around 125C. If you're going on track an oil cooler is a good idea, on the road I'm not convinced it's needed. 1 matrixprotein reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAD17 479 Report post Posted December 1, 2019 As said, around 90I have TD turbo with an oil cooler and even on a hot day with normal spirited driving it rarely reaches 100C.On track it can go above 125.Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
