Got a little worried today, after having a little raz the temp of my car was well high!!(Higher than normal....After a blast)
I remember a post on here about Warming up and warming down the car.......However couldn,t remember what it said!!
DOH.....
Whats the right/best thing to do for the car(M400)?

Cheers!

Oil or Water ? Oil can vary between 20-140c (ideally between 70-110), water temp shouldn't vary as all at it's pretty well locked to the middle of the dial by the ECU once the thermostat is opened. If it is water temp -then I'd get the car checked out.

Water is usually 90 degrees when warm
Oil Anything between 80-120, 120 after a hard and sustained blast.
Should return to below 100 fairly quickly once you have slowed the pace down a bit.
This is what my car reads anyway.

Just to add that it's well worth leaving the engine running for a couple of minutes after a "blast" so that the turbos get a chance to cool down .. www.nobleforums.com/showthread.php?t=1983 (the red bit in the middle of the pic is the rear turbo glowing).

I must drive like a complete woos as I've never managed to get the oil temperature to above 95 or so....even in the summer!

Cheers chaps.
The oil temp was 120-130 so I let it idle for ten mins once I got home!!!
The fans kicked in and all was cool( so to speak )in the end!!!

This car just gets better and better!!!
