Running hot....

Just wanted to check, as its the first time for a year my cars had a long drive at high speed in the heat....

Oil Temp at about 110-120 Degrees C and Engine temp gauge sat at about 1/2 - 3/5's up the gauge is normal when doing 80-90 for between 60-90 minutes....isnt it?

Gravy, I needed to top the oil up, so added some high viscosity synthetic.

Bloody english weather, i get used to the heater wheezing like asmatic running uphill during the winter and then its too hot in the summer :roll:

dito, high oil temp and water. solved the oil temp a lil by running some engine flush oil and then put some new fresh synthetic. driving steady in the heat the oil never goes above 100!
