335d X Drive Warm Up Time??

[anonymous-user]

My Mercedes is in for repair. When we had those storms recently a tree fell narrowly missed the bonnet. A new bumper, headlight, and new alloy wheel were on order. Just got around to getting it booked in.

The bodyshop/insurance provided a 335d x drive. I must say it was quite nice. Torque everywhere.

It took a 30 minute and 15 mile commute to get the oil up to temperature. It was a mix of 40/50/60 A-B roads. Ambient temperature being around 10 C. Is this normal for these engines?

Curious non-BMW owner.
It’s a 2018 if that helps.

My 335d takes a good 15 minutes/10 miles to get to a settled oil temperature. I have seen graphs posted on here that show very good oil performance at lower oil temperatures, assuming it is running the recommended oil. Certainly at 75 deg C oil temp, it should be capable of high throttle loads, but why not wait, it is not a town car.

That sounds like fun!

Great to know. I would have thought it has to be at 120 C or whatever it settled at. I guess these huge blocks must take up a while to heat soak. May be it’s because all the work is done with lower torque they need a lot longer. Fantastic car though. Yes not one for the town!

My X3 335D takes about 10 to 15 mins of town driving to get up to 100 on the oil temp gauge.

As I others have said it’ll be a good ten miles to get the oil to 100c. But you can safely give some revs from 75/80c.
