oil temp post oil cooler
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi everyone, just fitted my oil temp sensor in line after oil cooler and before filter housing on 1293 supercharged lump,what is the opinion on temps, just starting to think maybe i should block off the cooler with a sheet of something,seems its running a bit cool to me. i managed to get it up to about 60c, when ideally should be bout 80/90?

maybe bypass the cooler altogether? then you can see if its really needed at all?

yes i had the same problem, and took my oil cooler off. Now giving it a bit on a warm day the oil gets to 90 ish to 100, spot on i would say. good to hear you are measuring it rather than just guessing.
