evo 8 engine oil temperature goes high

Today is my race practice day and I had few test runs with my Evo 8 4G63

but now my car engine oil temperature goes too much high and in the gauge it shows 120°C , and oil pressure indicate too low pressure.

and I cannot run the engine while having like this low oil pressure situation because at that time engine make weird noise.because of low oil pressure.

even I have changed a big oil cooler for my car still having that problem.Gauges are all ok and sensors also fine.

Please could anyone have any idea what has happened?


Thank you. Hope a good reply from you guys.

Low pump volume would explain all this...

I think you know you need to change it and soon!

i think for oil pressure you may have leakage, how is engine condition? i mean piston rings condition, how much engine run already?

what kind of oil do you use?

120c is 248f, which is high. i saw 210f after driving 6-8 hours cross country only stopping for gas in 100f heat. find a pump that flows more oil. maybe use 20w-50 if you dont already
