Need help in solving engine oil heating I have a ls3 doing around 498hp transplanted on a bmw e46 using it for track and drift events my problem after three laps I am up to 270 on my temp have a 21 row oilcooler with fan and it does not help what would you guys recommend I do to get it to run cooler
What oil are you running now? Are you positive that the cooler fan is operating properly?
More important is what is your oil pressure at that temperature? What oil are you running?
If at hot idle your pressure looks normal I'd almost take a look at the oil temp gauge / sender and see if its accurate. 270 is really high. With my 19row+fan oil cooler I see my oil temperature in the 190-210 range That said that is with the fan always on. But the most I've seen with it regulated by a thermostat is around 235.
