Oil temps... where do you read? What's the temps you see and like...
I always read after cooler at filter mount up top, I see after a hard run 220-230 most... average running it's at 180-190... last season I could not get them above 150-160 no matter what I did... that was after a safer tune was set I can assume cooler piston temps led to less oil temp. I am adding temp stats this year, I have taps in pans so I thought about loving temp senders there and read what oil in pan was, or maybe just leave as is... What do you guys do for readings? Where and what's temps? What should it be in pan? |
I always monitored going back in... my buddy wants me to monitor at pan now..

interesting questions, whats more important to know , how hot is coming out or what temp is is going back to the pan . Both important things to know I would assume.

what you see at pan?

In the pan on my wet sump engines and in the oil tank on the new dry sump engine.

It drops right down once you come off the throttle. This was on a smal block ford in the pan. |
Cool, yes Bill said put them in pan this year.. so gonna change it.
|
I dont think you would see much diff from pan to filter housing before cooler..

mine were in housing after cooler before..

Temp location is a matter of Preference and Convenience , you just have to be aware that some locations will show a higher temp than others .
Biggest thing is make sure your sender is immersed in oil completely , some senders in oil filter blocks only have the tip in the flowing oil . They have a rather large hysteresis from actual if that is the case. |
Went out this past weekend in S. Fla. 75* ambient temps. Water temp. Probably a little lower, I didn't check. I installed the temp. Probes in the OE oil filter housing on raw water cooled 1996 7.4 Lx MPI's. I noticed the oil temps. Run damn near the 140* raw water temp at or around idle then raise as rpm's do. I was seeing 190* while cruising at 2500 rpm and 220* when I bumped it up to 3000 rpm. I guess my worries of not boiling off condensation are now gone even though I've never had discolored oil upon their changes.

My vette has a oil temp gauge, 10qt dry sump LS3, I have yet to see the temp above 180* this spring.
If GM is fine with those temps and not worried about getting it higher to "burn off condensation" then why worry about lower temps in boats. 40* weather, after 1 hour on the highway: http://33outlaw.zenfolio.com/img/s1/...68465476-3.jpg |
