Hi everyone,
i have install a defi oil temp gauge in my car, i live in Dubai UAE!!! is always hot over here. can some one tell what is normal temp of the engine oil ? coz the other day i was driving really hard. gauge show 90 c is this is normal ? moreover service engine soon light also pop up!

 

i am using a prosport with temp sensor in the drain plug. I have yet to see it get over 180*F. Where is your temp sensor located and what weight oil are you using?

 

i was deployed to UAE last summer and yea, it been hot there is an understatement, but besides the IC gettin heatsoaked as soon as u start the car up lol i wouldnt think it should b affected to much

 

i live in ny..i got a defi as well and mines runs around 180f-210f in the summer time.

 

it all depends on the temp outside

in summer i see 90*C on my gauge after running the car hard
normal stop and go driving i see somewhere around 70*C
highway is somewhere around 60*C

this is in 90*F + outside temps

and im using the factory MR gauge, which takes the temp reading from the drain plug

 

Same here; the hottest I've seen in the summer is 90*C on the stock MR oil gauge

 

I have a prosport and use a sandwich plate that I bought from them too. Replaced my mr gauges. On the oem gauges the readout was generally around 70*C, but I saw it peak just above 90* with hard driving. On the prosport, I saw anywhere between 160-200*F depending on temp outside and how hard I drove it. Hope that helps.

 

I see about the same while cruising around during the summer. I have seen it reach near 220F

 

Mine was 180f before summer now that the weather is 100f+ ive seen 185f to 190f

 

Hmm, my glowshift read really low form the get go. 120*f tops, now after a few months it gets up to 140-150*f. Reads alot lower then the rest of your guy's gauges, I guess i should replace it.

 

My prosport read 210 F today.

 

In the heat down in Miami mine will peak in the 220's. (Using prosport gauge and sandwich adapter)

 

yeah its seem my is gauge is show the right temp 70 c on the stock oil synthetic oil 10-w/60! and if i drive hard temp jump up to 90 c! thx every one u ppl really helped me up. god bless u all. and drive safe lol.

 

Im running my Defi's off oil filter housing. I see between 180 and 190F. I have my warning a 205 and it has not gone off yet. I literally just installed oil temp and pressure 2 weeks ago. So these are summer temps. I'm running Amsoil 10w-30
