High oil temps after Stage 1 tune
So, noticed today my oil temp was increasing to 120 degrees whilst cruising at 70mph. Up until yesterday when I fitted a BMS Stage 1 Tuner it never went above 90 degrees.
Around town and pushing on a bit the temp drops to between 70 and 90. All a bit strange to me. Anyone any ideas? |

tune is pushing the engine harder then before, so its expected, the question is if its too hot, I've read that 120 is ok, need to find that thread again, cant remember where i saw it discussing engine temps.

The normal scenario is for the engine to run hot when it's not being pushed hard, for more efficient operation, but cooler when it's pushed hard, to prevent pre-ignition.
