Hello,
while driving in traffic today,on a hot summer greek day(40degrees celcius),and after a rather small uphill i got these readings from my gauges:
Engine temperature 90 + 3 lines
oil temperature:around 120degrees
Oil pressure:around 1.2bar
After i stopped the car and turned the engine off,the ventilators would all continue working,and very small amounts of smoke where coming off the engine bay.(probably from oil residues outside the engine or flanges).
Im asking this:Is it possible to get it up to so high temperatures without pushing the engine?I mean this is worse than being on the race track i assume!
Engine runs fine,no problems after that,and also engine oil is still sitting at full length.Im using 10W60
also im always getting lower reading from the oil pressure as the temperature rises.When im around 90+2 lines my oil pressure sits just below 2bar.As it starts to heat up it assumes the 1.5bar position and then moves slowly lower when i hit the 90+3 lines mark!!!
Im going to have all temperature senders replaced with lower limits,but after this i think im going to refrain from using the car in the city!damn traffic...
