hot oil !

[fasterthanjesus]

since new clutch fitted and new cam belt, im taking it easy with the old girl.

im noticing my oil temp is much higher than normal, im not booting it, or going over 70.

ive just had an oil and filter change too.

its going around 100/110 im finding that its down to about 90 on normal roads. it was about 20 less allround before.

should i stop being a wuss or take it back to garage and tell them?

[stan]

what oil have they put in mate?

[fasterthanjesus]

5 40

was running ok for a week before cam and clutch done.

it had x2 engine flush too.

[stew]

fine mate. IMO anyway!

Mine used to sit about 90, but now sits at 100 when gunning it. No problem as long as it aint much over 100!

[stan]

probably due to different quality oil. those temps arent excessive, but i personally would want to know why there had been a change

dunt sound to be owt wrong wi that mate tbh. mines usually att bout 120+

Wish Reno didn't put that bloody oil temp gauge on the willys/valvers, makes everybody paranoid!!

[northy]

nar - i think the gauge is great.

Tells u when the cars had enough track time.

Only one i would change is the outside air temperature. Im sure they could have thought of something a little more sportier instead

[BRUN]

which oil were you using before, and what is in it now ?

[2 live]

like a mirror for u??


or how about a device that tells u when the last time the car moved under its own steam.......ur kids would date back to march or summat
