VXR8 oil temp

[maverick964_uk]

Hi, my VXR8 seems to run at 110 oil temp on normal driving however at some consistent higher motorway speeds it goes up to 120-125/130. I always thought it should remain at 110?.

Anyone else seen this with theres??

yah thats normal for mine to be up in the 120+ only when im giving it some tho

[maverick964_uk]

thanks. would you see 120+ just doing a constant 95mph? in 6th, its only 3k revs!

105C constant on my LS3.

maybe the LS3 has a better oil cooler

any good oil coolers out there for the LS2 VXR8?

My LS3 vxr8 will climb to 125'c when giving it some welly. Was a little concerned - but i guess others are seeing the same.

[maverick964_uk]

yeah I think they will do that when giving it welly but Im talking about a consistent 95 say. 3k revs and hitting 120+ ??

No oil cooler fitted.

A good oil with excellent heat shedding properties will bring the temp down10-15 degrees.

Different engine, same temps..
Maybe running the engine cooler a tad might help.

hey Mr Monkfish. thanks.
I think im in need of a new clutch as well. You put the corvette one in for me last year I think.
Maybe you can do the clutch and put in a better oil for me?
