Exactly the same mate, never goes over 100 tho, even when booting it. What type of oil do you use?

i was going up rhualt hill full pelt. i use 15w 40. it was 100 well just below the 100 line so abt 95ish i reckon. when going round town its usually abt 60/70. when giving it a little boot it gets up to 80 then back down to 70ish again when driving 'normal'

with mineral oil my temp would never exceed 100.. i have just put semi synth in and it runs at 110 on extended motorway runs....

ive found mineral oil burns off quicker.... i thought my guage was buggered... lone behold i was almost out of oil lol.

you wanna get some proper oil in it boys, ie the good stuff... Costco has served me well :lol:

5w 40 and never goes about 80 and still holds 6 bars of pressure (5 once FULLY warm) at full load

Never goes above 80 you sure the temp gauge ain't broke!? Mine is usually 100 on motorway or just below during normal driving.

5 40 oil.

temp reaches 100 with heavy footwork.

bar can reach about 6 depending on how cold, but sinks down to 3 or 4 when warm.

i always thought a voltage gauge would have also been handy... especially in the winter when ive got all systems going (fogs, stereo, blowers, hrw, ipod, lights, ejector seat etc).

martin, in this cold weather mine wont go above 80 unless ur on a m way run. pottering abt it will stay around 70. when i ease off booting it it will generally go back to abt 70ish

It's fine Jamie, mine before the oil cooler would run hotter than that.

As long as it stays under 110 your fine....

i managed to get my oil temp right to the top of the sensor once :S

was using tescos cheepo 10w 40 ;)

been using some cheepo fully synth stuff from costco, seems a lot cooler then before but i dont have an oil cooler so will probably get very warm after a proper thrash
