When is oil temp considered too high?

 

When it burns the chicken.

 

You don't want to see 300*. I actually shut mine down when it hits 270* on track days. I'd rather be safe than spin a bearing.

 

That's comforting, I was up to like 230-240 doing some canyons the other day... I thought that was too high. guess not.

 

Well...since I run amsoil which is far better than mobile 1, I feel if I watch the temp on the DIC and as long as it does not enter the red (look at the bar graph under the digital temp, far right side has "the red zone") just like any other guage...I'd be just fine

 

hmmmm....I will have to look today....

 

people actually take that oil temp meter seriously?

my coolant could be at 180 and my oil temp will say 300. already replaced the sensor and did the star washer.

 

yea man..im with radeon on this one..those sensors are garbage. theres no way the oil temp is as high as the sensor says..add in the fact that we have some pretty big pans as well.

 

I take your mom seriously; just like she takes my DIC seriously.

 

^^^ Lol

 

^^^ that was a good one haha

 

haha real funny.

have fun disintegrating in your burning house tonight.

 

poor LS6's running hot having to work so hard....
