[s-cars] Oil temperature raising while driving at high speed

[Vincent Frégeac]

Your second post answered my first question: 8L?

Anyway, I've frequently seen 130C oil temp. during hard driving with my
90Q20V and have been said mainy times by the racing guys of the 20V list
it's just normal. I've no experience yet with the S6 but I won't see a 40C
difference between the water temp and the oil temp as a problem whatever the
engine.

Last question: Is 260Km/h hard driving? ;-)

Objet : [s-cars] Oil temperature raising while driving at high speed


Hi,

On saturday, I came back from Dijon Race track and drive at fairly high
speed ( Dijon - Paris: 350 kilometers done in 1 hours 45 minutes (including
a stop at gaz station)). I was able to drive for long period at speed around
260 kilometers / hours. The engine was running at 6400 tours (full power). I
noticed the oil temperature went from 90 degrees to 130 Degrees. I slowed
down couple of times to cool down the oil temperature back to less than 100
degrees. I am wondering if this is normal or if I should check if anything
wrong with the oil cooler or the hoses. There is 8 liters of oil in the
engine. I am using 10W60 oil.
Thanks for your help.

Frederic.
