Hi people,

 

OK.... My 300 is running good, but...I am a little concerned about my oil temperature.

What is the oil temperature at idle, while driving, and under load for a standard and modded 300ZX?

Also, does the grade of oil make any difference to the running temperature?

 

Cheers all,

What temp gauge are you using first? Stock one? If yes, then it's about as reliable as a politician's word. When cold, it should sit toward the 2/3rd...on JDM clocks, that's between 4 and 8. When fully warm, it should sit just below the first quarter mark, but some sit slightly lower (idle). Under load when warm, it should sit around the first quarter marker.

got an A/M guage Si.

 

and that is an oil temp guage. (not a water temp gauge)

Sorry mate, was getting confused with the pressure gauge. Don't know then as I don't have external lube temp gauges.

around 80deg is a good working temp for stock and modded

where have you put your sender alan as that can make a big difference to the temp your looking for...

jimmer added the sender on rebuild. so, not too sure matey.

in the sump will give a lower reading as its after the cooler, i get around 60-70 once warm in the sump.
