cooling issue ---new fan ?
#22
According to my scan gauge, I would keep running around 65c when it's around 2-3c outside in the morning, without anything blocking the radiator. Water temp will go even lower when I'm driving downhill(even under 60c). That's why u saw me using that white board to block the lower grill long time ago when we met at Tim Horton before winter olympics. With that thing in, then my water temp stays at 85-95c during city driving. And cooling fan comes on at about 100c-ish when I go into some underground parking.

Don't worry about it Felix. 95c oil temp is nothing. What about your water temp? U using Defi gauges? I personally won't worry about it til it's 120c-ish. Did u install a spoon thermostat? I'm not sure if running a cooler coolant temperature will lower your oil temperature but worth a try. Coz the thermostat is cheap. I don't think u guys with FI setup will run too cool like me in the winter anyway. FI setup usually run warmer especially when some of you have FMIC which blocks to air flow going into the rad.

hey thx for ur help.
i tend to drive my car very hard...and just wanna keep it safe....
the oil temp sensor is plugged in at the sandwich block and not the oil pan..so may be that's why it's reading hot...
and i do have spoon thermostat already

That's normal to get oil temperature from the sandwich. My brother & quite some friends do that the same way. I would recommend you to go with an engine oil cooler but hopefully it doesn't block the air flow into the radiator.....

actually...i already have oil cooler for both tranny and motor....but i think the holes i have in the fender liner isn't big enough so it is not cooling efficiently
