is my oil 2hot?

<< < (2/2)

77CVT:
100 deg is normal.  Normal oil breaks down around 135 C and synthetic at around 150.

ozvette:
Yeah, def no problem with that temp, but I do want to add one thing.

In my 87 I only hit those temps on hot days or in traffic.

On the open road, my oil is down near 90, if you are concerned, you may want to put on the Z51 style airdam to get more air in there, and also get you mechanic to check and clean around the radiator, because we get a lot of crap (leaves mostly) caught coming up from underneath.

Shane Finn:
More than you ever wanted to know about oil x100..

I'd recommend downloading the "Motor Oil Bible" and having a good read. I bought this years ago when it was a paid download (now free) and have never regretted it. There is one chapter where the author preaches his religion - if it offends you ignore it and read the rest. It's worth it.
