Oil temps........

[vxrphantom]

Noticed the oil seemed to be getting hotter than usual so had the car serviced couple of weeks ago, but find that the average temp of oil still seems to be 125C after most 30min+ drives. Just cant remember it going so readily to that figure, sure it used to spend most of the time around 110C. Should I be concerned?

GM oil runs hotter, Mine gets to that sort of temp. I would't worry unless you start seeing 13x temps. Monkfish say Royal Purple runs cooler.

Mine seems to float around 115 with mobil 1

[stigmundfreud]

125 is about right, have set rev limit to 4k until it reaches 78c

thought it was a 6060? The A wasnt in stock when I turned up, I was blown away with how much better the current manual is over the previous too that I decied to save the 1500 quid

Richard - it certainly helps now that A/C is disabled under engine load conditions unlike before, LT's off for now and will need to get down to mtech to see just how well the fueling is. LT's was suggesting it wasnt too bad stock and looking at the stfts its pretty close.

Shame you two are not coming along tomorrow

When you hit M25 take southern stretch (fewer if any cameras) than the northen route.
